Ads block view: Barricades on highways have vertical bars with gaps, but horizontal ads block view of upcoming traffic. To improve safety, ads should be removed from future designs. #RoadSafety #Ads #Barricades #Vision #Safety
Advertisements block view
It is a common sight to see barricades before ‘U’ turns on highways. The design and fabrication of the barricades are not conducive for drivers and pedestrians. Vertical square bars are positioned with sufficient gaps. But the horizontal advertisement plates block the vision of the upcoming traffic. In future designs, the horizontal plates should be removed to make a clear vision available to the road users.
