There are a few issues here. First, I understand it would cost a significant amount of money but it would save people's lives. The accident does not always occur at the junction. It can happen a little way from the junction because people are joining up with the traffic. Second, if TII is not going to change them over a planned period of time, the local people are significantly worried about this. I wish to put it on the record that I believe those junctions are not safe and I have no wish to have to play back this video. I have seen bread vans, not even massive vehicles, being unable to take the bend because the drivers do not realise it is so sharp. They might be driving on it for the first time when doing deliveries or they might be new drivers.
