_ _ The court heard evidence from the car driver and her passenger, a rider of another motorcycle who was out with the deceased, two further independent witnesses and finally the Police Officer who conducted the accident investigation. It became clear from a number of witnesses who used the road on regular basis that were aware that there was a junction at this point but were unaware of the roadside warning triangle sign to indicate junction or of the white arrow painted on the road surface to direct traffic they travelling in the same direction as the deceased to pull into the nearside carriageway: This road is subject to 60 mph speed limit Consideration needs to be given to improving the signage at this junction_ Either by marking double white lines on the A356 to tell users that they must not overtake or improving the size and position of warning triangles indicating there is junction, or both of those improvements together with anything further that would prevent a further accident at this junction. Further whether the speed limit at or around junctions on this road need to be reduced. The Police Officer who is an experienced road traffic officer who has to provide accident reports to the Coroners and other Courts was of the view that the signage at all junctions along the A356 may need to be considered. The inquest of course only heard evidence in connection with this junction_
