| 摘要： | Senior staff at National Highways are urging drivers to respect those working on the road with the latest figures suggesting road incursions - when a vehicle drives through a closed off section of road - are set to double this year in the east of England. In the first five months of 2023,123 roadwork incursions have taken place. Last year the total figure across 12 months was 122. Karl Brooks, National Highways' programme delivery manager in the East Region, said: The unpalatable truth is that if this continues someone is going to be killed. Working on the strategic road network is an inherently dangerous place at the best of times, but when road users ignore barriers, signs or cones, they are entering someone else's workspace with a vehicle, often travelling at high speed. Those working to maintain and improve our roads - often overnight and through all weathers - accept a certain risk associated with that type of work but what we are experiencing at present, with people blatantly ignoring closed off sections of road, is completely unacceptable.' Earlier this year, dashcam footage of a woman moving cones so she could drive across a central area of the A12 carriageway in Essex went viral on social media. In the footage, you can see National Highways contractor Adam Craig speak to the driver. |
