Product Information

Situations where drivers would benefit from seeing oncoming vehicles when exiting a driveway (driveway exit mirrors). Ms McNarney, a widow of six years, said she had no real notice before the new pole was put up and discovered the new situation after returning home from work one afternoon. She says she was told a year before by a BT representative that the previous pole was going to be replaced and asked for a note to be passed on to ensure it did not also encroach on her driveway. She said the prior pole had been there for as long as she could remember, and she had "caught it numerous times" trying to get into the drive.

Finally, if you want to avoid high levels of maintenance, you must find a location for the mirror that doesn’t become easily overgrown with plants or trees. Of course, you need to place the mirror where it will provide the best view but if you can find a balance between the two then you won’t have as much work to do over time. Top 5 Best Driveway Parking Mirrors What are the best traffic mirrors to buy in the UK? This will depend on your individual circumstances, but here are a few of our popular road mirrors: Our selection of driveway mirrors makes up a specialised part of our traffic and road mirror range. These mirrors play a vital role in improving the safety of driveways and intersections where driveways meet the road by increasing the level of visibility at these potentially high risk locations. But in situations where clearing vegetation and modifying driveway entrances still doesn’t provide adequate visibility to allow vehicles to exit onto the road safely then driveway safety mirrors are enormously beneficial. What are Driveway Mirrors? Our driveway mirrors’ primary function is to help reduce the risk of collisions or injury entering, exiting or manoeuvring into or on driveways. Scenarios that would benefit from the addition of convex mirrors include but are not limited to:Considerately located driveway safety mirrors will greatly enhance traffic safety when exiting from driveways. But while it’s permissible to mount safety mirrors on your own property you should not place a driveway safety mirror in a roadside situation without having first verified that this is acceptable with your local authority. And you must never erect a mirror on somebody else’s property without first having gained their permission. For driveway mirrors, the calculation is the same. Measure the distance from the driver’s seat to where the mirror will be mounted. Use that measurement and multiply it by 1.5. If the calculation is less than 26 feet, we recommend shopping for a mirror no less than 26 inches in diameter. Exiting from a driveway onto a road can be fraught with danger due to poor visibility. This issue is particularly acute in rural, countryside environments where the national speed limit applies on the roads and hedges often obscure visibility. To provide adequate visibility in two directions it’s generally best to consider using two convex driveway safety mirrors appropriately angled to provide the required field of view. It’s essential that drivers exiting the driveway can clearly see the reflected images so it’s important to mount the mirrors at an optimal height. It’s also important to ensure that the mirrors don’t obscure the view required by other road users and be sure to consider the possibility that sunlight might be reflected into the eyes of oncoming drivers and position mirrors appropriately.

Another important consideration regarding driveway safety mirror placement is viewing distance. The maximum viewing distance that’s often quoted for convex driveway safety mirrors is the maximum distance between the driver and the mirror. This is related to the size of the convex mirror. For example, a circular Vialux 400mm convex driveway mirror has a maximum viewing distance of 5 metres whereas the 600mm model has a viewing distance of 11 metres. How Install a Driveway MirrorMs McNarney also said the new pole is a larger one, she believes it to be an "industrial pole" not normally found in residential areas. She said a supervisor of fibre cables being installed in the ground shortly after the new pole's installation had identified it as such and suggested it would get sorted. She added: "I said to them it's not acceptable, because you're over other people's property." Autumn Statement: State pension confirmed to rise by 8.5% from April 2024 – while some benefits will go up by 6.7% Ms McNarney said what "really angered" her was that the company would not be "prepared to do anything". The LDRS understands it was contractors who installed the new pole and a BT engineer took new photographs last week as part of a new assessment. NatWest, Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) and Ulster Bank, which are all part of the NatWest Group, will now shut at least 172 of their bank branches in 2023 and 2024.
