So how long do you all think it will be before someone seriously injures themselves on the Airports latest traffic calming measures on the badly designed road that runs past DHL.......

Fine put in some sort of measure, though they do not seem to be that effective.

But paint them black so they cannot be seen well in bad weather or failing light, and not illuminate them either? that's just poor design, just like the road they are on.

Am I just being cynical? or am I just waiting for the first casualty. They look pretty substansive items to, all that shows you they are there in the dark is a tiny reflective arrow that appears to be on the pavement as you come around the bend from the Airport side.

They need illuminating, or is that to much for the budget........

Coming from the track end if someone turning into DHL suddenly decides to stop you now have no way of going around them either....
that one would have been better placed to stop them u turning in the access road and ignoring the signage that tells them to use the roundabout and come back on themselves....... after all they deliberately made the entrance the shape it is to try and counter that....
