Skully - heavy boxes? schools?
are we talking term time or Holidays? and when you say boxes - ireggular or uniform in shape?
I don't think the road layouts can be easily changed. i have seen perfectly safe junctions made into death traps by irresponsible drivers too damn lazy to walk and parking right on the edge. you also have the constant road works, deliveries etc the road space is as good as it can be and cost of change is huge.
I am more concerned at the HGVs suitability for being on londons Road, the article above points out - lifes can be saved by a few small changes.
its hard to swallow the fact a change in mirror is the difference in life and death but there is no incentive to check it or punishment for not doing it. we could pass the lorry on the left, right, never or every junction alternating sides. if he hasn't the tools to know whats about him its all moot
