Are we ever going to get proper guard rails installed on our roads. You know, the type that actually keep vehicles on the road.
This appears to be on a private road but yes, I agree, we need some on our main roads.
Or perhaps teach people how to drive?? Always blaming it on others, today it’s the lack of guard rails. Take responsibility, ffs.
are we ever going to pay attention and stop hitting walls……………..just asking
Why should we the tax payer have to pay for better guard rails for these who want to drive recklessly?
Who fixes the wall?
Nothing wrong with our walls.
