\"road-markings\"Three British tourists have been killed in a motorcycling accident and another injured in Italy. The crash was a head-on collision with a truck and occurred as they were exiting a tunnel in Mezzolombardo, Trento. <\/p>\n

The indication from early investigations seems to indicate that the Brits were on the wrong side of the road when the accident occurred and, as a result, police have indicated that they feel the motorcyclists may not have realised that it was a one way system.
\n<\/p>\n

The investigations seem to point to poor road markings and a local councillor, Bruno Firmani, acknowledged \u201cWe have had several complaints from motorists about the tunnel and the road in recent weeks. There is no doubt<\/strong> that the road is confusing.\u201d Mr Firmani also indicated that he had filed \u201da question with the local road agency about the signposting on that stretch of road.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the UK, the responsibility for maintaining road signs and markings usually falls to the local council. However trunk roads (\u2018A\u2018 roads) and motorways are the responsibility of the Highways Agency<\/a> to maintain.<\/p>\n

One of the primary responsibilities that they have – is to ensure that the roads that we use are as safe as possible. A failure to maintain roads would possibly lead to accusative fingers being pointed<\/strong> were someone to suffer a road traffic accident<\/a>, with poorly maintained road markings a common complaint on roads. If this accident happened in the UK then there might be a case for a claim for injury<\/a> being made against either the council or the Highways Agency.<\/p>\n

Tragically it seems as though three lives have been lost due to a simple case of poor road markings which might easily have been rectified.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
