'A simple improvement could be implemented at Salisbury's Trief kerb'
THERE have been a lot of letters and opinions about the Trief kerb on the roundabout on Fisherton Street, where there have been multiple accidents when turning left from South Western Road under the railway bridge. There has also been an article on the BBC website on July 28. This is clearly a difficult manoeuvre, as it involves a turn of much more than a right-angle, and is very likely to catch out drivers who are unfamiliar with the roundabout, including visitors to Salisbury. It appears that the double width of the lane at the entry to the roundabout contributes to the problem. A savvy driver will surely position themselves to the right of the lane before entering the roundabout and turning safely under the bridge. Read more Man ordered to pay thousands for abandoning worn-out car in Old SarumYoung man sustains life-threatening injuries in crash on rural road The kerb is often struck by vehicles turning onto Fisherton Street (Image: Newsquest) A simple improvement could be implemented to exclude approaching vehicles from the area close to the kerb by painting white hatched lines on the road, bordered by a solid white line. I hope this suggestion will be implemented. It is simple and cheap, yet it has the potential to warn motorists of the hazard and dramatically reduce costly accidents and associated trauma.
