Road Side Markers provide road safety in Herefordshire

Filon WayMarkers are being used by Herefordshire County Council to highlight potential roadside hazards in rural areas where ditches, alongside the road to provide effective drainage, can be too close to the roadway and not clearly marked for passing motorists to notice the potential danger.

Council Inspectors and Supervisors employed by the Herefordshire County Council carry with them a supply of Filon WayMarkers in their vehicles to help spotlight any unsafe conditions, and can replace or install the delineators in a matter of minutes using only a spade.

It is because of their ease of use Divisional Surveyor Andrew Cully says :

"We find that Filon WayMarkers are a cost effective answer to providing an immediate solution. It is often the general public who alert us to the potential hazards such as unmarked ditches, and with Filon WayMarkers we can be on site and have the area marked out very quickly, which lets the public see we are reacting speedily to their concerns"
