Idea from Caroline (resident and Community Councillor)

Use of white bollards with red reflectors on top at entrance/exit points along A832 (similar to Trunk roads).

Could concealed exit sign on the second Little Garve turn off from the Ullapool side – could this be made larger?

Promote reporting of overgrown site lines to HC and BEAR.

These alongside other traffic calming ideas (rumble strips etc) could be put forward once the potential for new measures has been agreed.

Moving forward electronic signs, if agreed.
