[...] Police also confirmed that there were no reported injuries in the collision that saw a car crash into a wooden railing on Wellington Street in St. George’s earlier this week. [...]

I’d be hard put to come up with a design that when hit with a vehicle couldn’t cause some sort of danger to life and/or limb.

And while I am not a fan of speed bumps, perhaps is people drove the speed limit and paid proper attention to the roads, these speed bumps wouldn’t be a surprise or cause someone to hit their head on the roof. As to the person who was rear-ended, the speed bump wasn’t the cause, the person behind them tailgating or not paying attention was.

As for painting them in warning, shall we do the same for long standing pot holes?

I agree, every Monday there is a wall, railing or hedget that was taken out along the North Shore over the weekend. The thing that irks me is that they are never repaired by those that damage them! Why are these individuals, or their insurance companies not forced to pay for damage done to public property!!!!!!!!!

The money to fix it is there. When you drive by a W&E crew that is just hanging around or cooling out in their trailer – they are still getting paid!

Those that don’t work or do half ask work – fire them, use that 50-60K to fix stuff.

@Goodidea Baddidea Have you ever had an accident. Many of us have and I hope your mother, father, son, daughter don’t become a victim of this. You/ They can be crossed off the road, hit and driven into the railing, swerve to avoid a child or animal that runs out in the road.

This is a horrible design that can be fixed easily to avoid decapitation and cost very little. I often wonder who at W&E comes up with these ideas. There are a ton of dangerous railings like this around the island, unfinished projects, not to mentioned these stupid speed bumps on the main road. I know a 62 year old woman that is suffering from head and neck pain after she drove over a speedbump on the corner before Knapton Hill and hit her head while driving one Evening. I saw a young girl wipe out in Flatts after hitting one of these surprise bumps. I know of another individual that was rear ended after he had to slow down for the speed bumps on Berkeley Hill. Three people injured and two vehicles damaged because of something that is supposed to make our streets safer.
All of these speed bumps should be painted a distinctive color with reflective paint.. or at the very least have warning signs painted on the road before you approach them.

Sorry but Bermudians have to be some of the worse drivers after dark. When you drive to work Monday mornings, have a look at the damage that occurred over the weekend. Every weekend! I am no angel, but…….

Someone should tell that driver, we drive on the other ‘left’ over here.

Perhaps people should stay between the middle of the road and the side of the road rather than using the rails as bumpers. Accidents are accidents, re engineering the entire road system would cost money we really don’t have.

Anyone see Wolf of Wall St…This is similar. I am sure the driver hadn’t a drop of alcohol in their system.

Perhaps Works and Engineering should revise the design of their wooden fencing. I have always thought they would do exactly occurred here. Skewering the car is a good description! A few inches to the left and the driver would have been skewered.
