Disregarded Dft Lane Width Guidelines

The Department of Transport produces clear guidence and for local authorities to ensure schemes are delivered safely. The lane width guidelines as the other parts of this website demonstrate have been completely ignored. 4.5m preferred, 3m mimimum. In some parts measured on Duffield Road the widths are down to 2.8m. DCC tell us that this is a mistake but they have also said that they think this is acceptable. Which is it? We believe that this configuration is unsafe and will result in accidents. When accidents happen DCC will be held accountable.
