It appears that Plastic barriers in the road are fine, and stolen cars mowing pedestrianns is ok..... B*****Ks
In reply to your email of 28.9.10, I have now been in contact with Wakefield Metropolitan District Council and I have been assured that where pedestrians have to walk on the carriageway there will be a physical barrier between pedestrians and traffic as specified in the legislation. I have been provided with photographs to show this is being done.
Thank you for bringing these matters to our attention, and please quote the above reference in any further contact with HSE.
