Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether or not the proposed illuminated sign would be unduly prominent and distracting to passing vehicle drivers

What decided it

The proposed illuminated digital display, by virtue of its size, location immediately facing a busy multi-limbed roundabout junction, and regular image changes, would cause unacceptable distraction to drivers and create a hazard to highway safety.
