There needs to be camera's and warning lights both ends warning other driver's of accidents. Fatal accidents can be avoided by putting things in place.

Re:

not an accident an incident.  Accidents cant be prevented but incidents have someone to blame as in today's case :/

I feel the bridge is particularly hazardous at night as there are no lights. I think lighting is a must!
Guest#54 Jul 01, 2014, 21:22
there needs to be some change befor anothere accident happens and takes more lifes why not put in a hard shoulder and have one lane for driving at a low speed .
Guest#55 Jul 01, 2014, 21:22
so many people saying reduce the speed limit - you have that choice - theres nothing to say that you have to do 70mph if you look in the highway code HGV's on a dual carriageway max speed is 50mph but no one is out catching the lorries doing nearly 70mph!

We don't need any more lives lost. 1 is too many
Guest#57 Jul 01, 2014, 21:26
Something needs to be done

This road needs something doing to it there is no lights on this crossing and no hard shoulder too many accidents have happened and now two people have lost their lives far too soon. Maybe even drop the speed limit or put speed cameras on it or signs that show there has been an accident or breakdown like most dual carriageways or motorways. something really is needed to prevent anymore fatalities!

It's a death trap
Guest#60 Jul 01, 2014, 21:30
I hate seeing people driveing made need to be safe no more dead
Guest#61 Jul 01, 2014, 21:31
Speed cameras on both side will make people think about there speed and save life's
Guest#62 Jul 01, 2014, 21:32
Something needs to be done!!!.... The planning for this was not thought out there are no safety measures in place !!!! 2 lives could have been saved today !!!! I drive over that bridge most days with my 10 month old daughter. It's so scary to think that it could have been us, or anyone that crosses over that bridge!!!! :-( no more lives lost!!!!!!

Death

No lights no speed limit no penalties no stop to how many people family's die
Guest#64 Jul 01, 2014, 21:33
Maybe an emergency phone like on the motorways to inform police straight away to close bridge if someone has broke down .and maybe lower the speed limit between the brow of the bridge and the other side .
Guest#65 Jul 01, 2014, 21:34
To many people get hurt or worse with this bridge! I for one want to feel safe taking myself and family over it!
Guest#66 Jul 01, 2014, 21:35
Please do something two people have lost there lives!
Guest#67 Jul 01, 2014, 21:35
Just make this bridge safe it was build to make it easier for the crossing to the island and it seems to cause more accidents then anything
Guest#68 Jul 01, 2014, 21:37
This bridge needs a hard shoulder at least!
Guest#69 Jul 01, 2014, 21:40

Disgusting safety! Too many accidents with no hard shouldor to pull up on!! Bad mistakes in who ever made this!!
Guest#72 Jul 01, 2014, 21:46
Today has been a sad tragedy that shouldn't have happened. More than camera's need to be done like overhead signs for warnings & a hard shoulder or emergency area's for people to be safe. How many more people need to suffer due to poor planning!!

Speed limit and more. Lighting
Guest#75 Jul 01, 2014, 21:48
Reduce to one lane on entry and exit to enable a hard shoulder to be made....average speed cameras set to 50 the length of the A249...lighting...clearer road markings.....concerns were raised and ignored before this crossing was built,....
