Safety at roadworks...
Safety at roadworks could be improved thanks to a clever new invention. Student Paul Scrase of Brunel University, London, came up with the idea of clipping illuminated arrows or chevrons to the top of road cones. The creation won the Reliance Security Group"s prize for design, an annual safety product competition, and scooped Paul a í‚á£2,000 prize. David Campbell, from the Road Maintenance Association, said: "Any invention designed to keep traffic on the correct side of roadworks sounds good. Too many incidents occur with drivers being confused by coned areas."
