Multiple low sides.

I also like the idea of moving the crossing. What about putting it before the bend?

you could with a barrier in front of it.

what bout putting those lines on the road where each one is closer to the one before so it encourages people to slow down?

Only useful comment you've made Adam. Well done. That one might even be the one they go with.

Simple. Add a mini roundabout.

Why?? There's only one exit and people would simply ignore it.

I disagree, in this case at least, it's really quite grippy as far as supermarket Tarmac goes. And it's heated which is quite cool (or not).

But they do use different tarmac than that for normal (ordinary) road use.

Heated ! This is worrying; why heated and is this keeping excess oils wet.

Solutions:-
No to crash barriers - have you seen the mess they can cause bikers.
Ask those that have both come off and the near misses (if reported) what they think happend - you might just get the answer.
Get the surface relaid with 'ordinary' finish asphalt, get the crossing in somewhere with a straight section - on the bend is poor, improve the markings.

Why thank you. That's helpful.

I'm only allowed one a month.

you should be honoured I wasted it on this.

I hope nobody asks me how to cure aids because its back to useless sarcasm now.

The main problem is target fixation on that crossing and kerb. The main solution is getting people to slow down significantly before taking the curb. I doubt anyone slides at 5mph, therefore I doubt anyone who slides is actually doing 5mph. So whatever solution you come up with it will involve moving that crossing off the corner exit so the post and curb don't get target fixated on the way in.

Use a Johnny.
