Safer Roads Foundation: Improving road safety in Columbia

Our member, Safer Roads Foundation improved road safety in Santa Fe, Columbia. Drivers had been misinterpreting markings on the main Carrera 1 road with the potential of a serious high-speed head-on collision.The danger was simply and easily addressed by reinstating the white and yellow road markings/hatching, installing one set of ‘No Entry’ signs to prevent drivers travelling the wrong way on Carrera 1, introducing block treatment (studs) on the white hatching to prevent drivers straddling the carriageway and introducing high-profile yellow and black arrow vertical sign at the ‘nosing’ of the merge/taper.
