AN OPERATOR based in Derry, Northern Ireland, warns that new measures designed to warn of severe weather conditions on the city's Foyle Bridge are inadequate.
The move follows the death of driver Peter McGuinness when his truck was blown from the bridge by strong winds in January.
Northern Ireland's Roads Service has begun installing warning signs at each end of the east and west-bound carriageways "This is part of a commitment made by the Roads Service to install variable message signs before this coming winter," says a spokesman for the service.
However, a spokesperson for Derry-based haulier James Corry reckons the signs are too close to the bridge; he suggests they should be further away on the approach roads. "Once you see the signs it's too late, you're already on the bridge," he warns.
