Red Crosses: Not for Nothing!
1. Description of the Challenge
Every day several red crosses are placed above the road, mainly for safety. Red crosses are used when for example objects, such as stationary vehicles, are on the road or very close to it or when a car-accident has happened. However, red crosses are often ignored which creates the following challenges;
- How can we handle the problem of devaluation of the Red Cross?
- Where should we as Road Authority focus on to secure and increase safety 'under the red cross'?
Why is this challenge important?
Ignoring red crosses is dangerous and leads to multiple accidents from road users with road workers.
There can be all sorts of different reasons people ignore the red crosses. This can be intentional but also unintentional. However, either way it can lead to dangerous situations. Therefore we ask you how can we solve this problem and create more awareness
2. Expected Outcome
An analysis and advice on how we can tackle this issue. Some concrete applicable solutions would be valuable.
