    Have you contacted the Commissioner for Surveillance Cameras – I understand that they are aware of all work currently being undertaken and may be able to point you in the right direction.

    I dont have a contact but I am really pleased to see this being reviewed. There are many areas where this happens across the UK on significant roads – A46 at Stratford and more locally to me A303 where there have been several serious incidents. I wonder if National Highways could give you more information – as those roads are under their control. I look forward to reading more about it.

    Thats interesting – does that mean technically those driving motorised disability vehicles (four wheel battery operated) should actually have a licence for them? Many of those in use are by those who have had vehicle licenses surrendered due to lack of ability through age. I would be very interested to know whether they do require a licence.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi, I am aware that some do wear body cams, however I would be very grateful if you would email saferhighways.co.uk because they are working on awareness of road worker abuse and it would be really good for them to include other roadside workers such as yourself in order to get greater awareness for you too. They are developing an app which allows for a single reporting system, that may be of benefit.

    Hi, I used these people when I was working in a secondary school for students with behavioural difficulties. It was a great success.

    Dear Andy

    My concern is that they are basically street clutter and may possibly cause blind spots should a young child of similar height be standing directly aside whilst intending to cross. It is not unknown for young children to be crossing independently without parents. In addition where there are parked cars collecting children, which is a huge problem in rural areas, they are likely to be unseen in any event. The use of school crossing flashing amber units should be sufficient in all cases and these are regulated already under TSRGD. They are functional by the schools, in that the school determines when they are on or off. In addition, there are other enforceable signs that can be used near schools which allow for prosecution if necessary.
