    The cheesecutters are put up as safety devices, but they make the road a more dangerous place for some road users. Just cos we been busy with other shit doesn't mean the issue is dead.

    Cheese cutters are safety devices!!!

    Just think if one had been between the centreline crossing campervan and the 4 bikers who died...is that a silence I hear?

    Obviously a tragic accident, but one that could have been avoided had the campervan driver been paying more attention.

    So other road users are allowed to be inattentive, and have a safety barrier stop them. But if bikers are inattentive, they are likely to lose limbs from contact with the same safety barrier?

    Also, without the accident details, we can't be sure whether WRBs would have saved them, in some cases (bigger vehicles especially) they hook the front wheel causing a loss of control, and if the road is not wide enough, the deflection of the WRB could be such that the campervan goes into the oncoming lane anyway.

    There are reasons why EU countries only allow WRB with bike friendly coverings, and why others ban them completely.

    If that is the level of argument you are going to put up, (you remind me of IL4 quite a bit) it's my cue to leave.
