⚠️ Horse Hazard Signs

Commuter’s will have noticed the addition of Horse Hazard Signs either side of Stocks Lane, Malvern. These have been put in place due to concerns raised about the safety of horse riders on this stretch of road and the reported poor driving when near horse riders.

Kempsey & Alfrick SNT have worked alongside the British Horse Society, the Police’s Road Safety Team and Highways (Council) to get these installed.

❗ Always think, there might be a horse and their rider around the corner❗

What should you do if you see a horse on the road?

•    Slow down to a maximum of 10mph 
•    Be patient, do not sound your horn or rev your engine 
•    Pass the horse wide and slow – give at least two metres 
•    Drive slowly away
