.
In 2008 we had 216 Road traffic accidents (i.e. Reversing, rollover, collision and others) 30 related to disobeying/missing of Road signs which resulted of lost of lives, Injuries, properties damage and time spend for the investigations. All could have been prevented by applying basic rules and regulations. Here there……..
Road Signs
Left Hand Junction Sign
“3-Arm” junction on the Lekhwair - Ibri blacktop road, approximately 15km to the Lekhwair roundabout. – Rollover – 1 LTI
Left Hand Bend Sign
The driver tried to negotiate the left hand bend in an excessive speed.The driver disobeyed with the posted warning traffic signs (Left hand bend, speed limit sign “50” kph.) - Rollover
Give Way
Driver did not stop and give way to the vehicles on the main road while entering from the minor/side road. - Collision
12
Warning Bend Sign
lack of hazard perception, excessive speed and inappropriate vehicle handling (reckless driving). “S” shape bend - Rollover
Failure to Follow the Signs
The driver failed to maintain the speed according to the actual road conditions (“S” bend, downhill, sand storm – impaired visibility) - Rollover
Left Hand Bend
Excessive speed for the road condition-sharp bend - Rollover
Give Way
Failed to give way to the Vehicle 2 - Collision
Left bend
Speed Limiter System not working – Device removed Excessive speed Tiredness - Driving after working night shift - Rollover 1 Fatal
STOP Sign
Disobeyed with the posted warning signs while approaching the ‘T’ junction – Collision – 1 LTI
1
2
STOP Sign Missing
Lack of appropriate warning traffic signs ( “Junction ahead” and “STOP” signs missing). - Rollover
Cross Road
Vehicle 1 left turning manoeuvre without checking mirrors and traffic Behind Vehicle 2 overtaking manoeuvre without realizing a potential hazard ahead (slowing down vehicle). - Collision

Chevron Sign
The vehicle approaching the ‘’T’’ junction at excessive speed Driving under the influence of alcohol - Collision
Right Hand bend Sign Missing
Advanced warning sign “sharp bend ahead” was not posted before the bend. - Rollover
Chevron Missing
Dark (night time driving).Road condition: Graded road with right bend, lack of chevron sign “Sharp Deviation to the Right”.Driver disobeyed with the 60 kph speed limit for driving at night on the graded roads. - Collision
Parking/No Parking Sign Missing
No signs that allow or forbid the parking - Collision
STOP Sign
The driver of the Vehicle 1 didn’t stop at the STOP sign and failed to give way to the Vehicle 2, which was travelling on the main road. Collision
1 2
STOP Sign
Excessive speed for the actual driving conditions (night time, “T” junction approach).Poor road observation – the driver didn’t notice the “T” junction on time. Collision – 2 LTI
STOP Sign
The driver of the Vehicle 1 didn’t stop at the STOP sign and failed to give way to the Vehicle 2, which was travelling on the main road. Collision

No Speed Breaker at the Roundabout
Absence of sufficient speed breakers and appropriatespeed sign boards at the approach of the roundabout - Rollover
STOP Sign
The Vehicle 2 disobeyed the posted traffic sign “STOP”. He emerged from the minor road onto the main road without stopping or giving way to the traffic on the main road. Collision
STOP Sign
Junction design: missing rumble strips, junction not lit at night, missing Reflective signs at the junction. Collision - LTI
Absence Sign
Absence of adequate warning signs for the slope and bend Rollover – 1LTI
STOP Sign
Driver did not stop at the STOP sign while merging onto the highway from the parking area slip road. sharply over steered to the right and applied brakes causing the water in the tank to move to the left side, - Rollover
Turn at High Speed
Started a right turning manoeuvre with the heavy loaded vehicle without slowing down properly before the junction - Collision
STOP Sign
Entered a junction without stopping at the STOP sign – Collision34 LTI
21
Short Cut
The accident scene – The point where the vehicle went off the road No traffic warning – 1 LTI
STOP Sign
Driver didn’t stop at the posted ‘STOP’ sign before emerging onto the main road. - Rollover
Overtaking on Junction
The Vehicle 2 driver started an overtaking manoeuvre of the left turning Vehicle 1. - Collision
1
2
STOP Sign
Driver didn’t stop at the STOP sign - Rollover
T- Junction
The Bus Driver attempted to turn left off the road at a T-junction when he was hit by another vehicle -2 LTI
Safe Distance- Speed Limit
Driver 1 failed to judge the speed of the vehicle in front and approached it at excessive speed as he didn’t follow the speed restriction for driving on graded roads of 80 kph. - Collision

Recommendations
Road signs means instructions you should obeyed. Highlights the hazards via HSE meetings, tool box talks and
drivers forum. All missing Signs should be reported to local Construction
Engineering OXE/34M/N/B/Q/F/L/Y or Line HSE Advisors. Rules enforcement: MUST be apply as per consequence
matrix as an example for others
