THINK! - Country Roads: Helpful Hazards

To raise awareness of the dangers of country roads THINK! have partnered with a local farmer to turn potential hazards into helpful hazards. #helpfulhazards

This is a great idea. It`s really time when motorists ought to "THINK RURAL" and all the things that could make rural community roads a potential danger. Motorbikers need to take note that the roads could be regularly littered with a variety of road surface problems, and also livestock and machinery sometimes later in evening and nightime when roads are considered empty. This should be accepted as Rural Communities begging to be listened to by motorists who think they are entitled to have roads free of obstacles. It`s not the case !! There are also children living in these communities !!

This came up as an advert before another video. I had to click on it and like it. Best advert ever, made me laugh.

I think I'd crash trying to read what it said on the sheep... and is there some irony in the fact that the hay bail sign warning about concealed entrances isn't actually visible until the tractor has pulled out of the concealed entrance?

This is a very clever idea though. Hope it works!

So instead of building fences around their land to keep livestock off the roads, farmers should turn their livestock into walking hazard signs...

But... what happens when the sheep move?

[kenzywag]

Hope the 'sharp bend ahead' sheep doesn't walk off to..y'know..after the bend.

Great idea. Spray sheep for baffled motorists to stare whilst going 50mph

Were the 'spray paints' safe for animals...

[TheLambLive]

Seems like a good idea until a freedom of information request will probably reveal it cost a couple of hundred thousand pounds to spray-paint a sheep.

people get into an automobile and become totally selfish self centred persons
ignorant of their actions and effect on others and their environment

ok, so here is the story. I was driving on a country road near Skegness, I have passed a bicycle with no lights, no high visibility jacket, nothing!!! I was very lucky not to have hit him on a bene. I stopped, called the local police station, they said someone is on their way. I followed the bicycle discretly for another good 10 minutes, no one arrived, the police just ingored the call...

How about you spend that money you wasted on spray paint and actually try and keep 'your hazards' off the public roads

[robynhighart]

How about spending the money from ads and billboards on actual roadsigns and safety improvements. This is a government funded money drain. Just like all awareness campaigns.
