Closed Require all road traffic signs prohibiting actions to have a diagonal line

Closed on

The Government should make it a legal requirement for all road traffic signs that prohibit certain actions to include a diagonal sign, to make it clear the action is not allowed.

It is extremely confusing and counter-intuitive not to have a diagonal line through a prohibition sign. Many foreign visitor drivers get caught out by this. We believe that many current prohibition signs are potentially dangerous to life and limb because they are not absolutely clear.
