Examine the practicality to erecting "crib" type barriers at the lower end of long sloping ramps between overhead bridges and platforms to reduce the hazard to platform users from cyclists and skaters who take advantage of these slopes
Reply Text
Erection of a barrier may reduce the speed of wheeled people at the exit from the ramp but would not stop access onto the platform where trespassers have freedom of movement on the whole platform area. In addition cribs would provide an impediment to disabled and perambulate movements to and from the platform. Barriers will not be provided.
