Confusing road signs can cause accidents

New research released from motor insurance expert Confused.com has revealed that the vast majority of Brits don’t understand the road signs they come across on a daily basis.

Further to this, over three-quarters (76%) think that distraction caused by road signs can be dangerous; a concerning statistic given that nearly half of those surveyed (46%) have been distracted by road signs whilst driving.

Brits’ lack of understanding when it comes to road signs has resulted in nearly a third (30%) having had a crash, bump or near miss.

With these statistics in mind, it may not come as a surprise to hear that the Department of Transport reports there are around 9,000 redundant road signs which need to be revised.

Brits agree with the Government’s plans, with over 40% believing that the public should vote for which signs are reviewed.
