Hi Vanessa,
I’m not involved in setting out signs, however I’ve investigated way too many m/cycle incidents. One of their greatest risks, when they leave the road, is hitting roadside furniture – road signs.
Obviously same applies to other vehicles but the impact on riders is far more injurious.That would be my reservation if we were to add even more furniture at the roadside.
Cheers. AndyHi Julie,
Bit late to the party, but as others say, Stats 19 has a value but not a value to everyone’s needs.
For your specific category, stopped, parked could also be included as a Stat, needing some real deep search if the individual incidents.
Are you prepared to pay for the info or for someone to do the search.
I don’t see this level of data being open and freely availableHi, a few years ago one of the truck magazines used to included braking details. In broad terms they tended to show HGVs were braking at the rates cars used to. With such variable weather conditions and then vehicle axle No / weight plus technology conditions, the best results would come from physical tests relating them to specific permutations. And that’s before we debate the reaction time used for the overall stopping distance in the HC! You could consider extrapolating some results, but they could fail quite readily if they were challenged.
Are we looking at something for a specific purpose or general data?
By all means ping me a message
