So assuming there are warning signs for a blind entrance/exit is it now
the
fault of the driver on the main road for driving too fast?

If he isn't exceeding the speed limit and there are no other signs or
visual clues then no.

So its OK to ignore warning signs then.

No; and I didn't say it was.

You said it wasn't his fault if there were no other signs.
How many does it take to make it his fault?

That's the whole point. It doesn't.

You can have as many signs, natural clues, etc. as well as opinions on
whether or not somebody was going too fast as you like. It doesn't
alter the outcome.

Unless there is a speed limit in place and the driver has exceeded it,
the rest becomes a matter of opinion.






Why should he need warning signs? Is he driving too fast for the
conditions?

There can be blind entrances and turnings with no visual clues at all.
If
these represent a hazard, then they should be appropriately signed,
keeping in mind that if there are too many, people will have information
overload and not notice them as much.

Are the warning lines in the midle of the road adequate rather than
clutering the place with more signs?

These are an indicator regarding crossing of the centre line. They are
used both when roads bend and when they undulate. Neither is necessarily
an indicator of a blind turn.

They are known as hazard warning lines and are there to warn of hazards..

Continuous white lines are warning lines but don't indicate that there
may be other hazards.


Do you have your hands up?

No need.





(Hands up those of you that don't know what I am talking about.)

Have you put your own hand up?

Why?

Not worked it out yet?
