I think the only solution is to have a sturdy steel beam, painted in
luminous paint, a few metres before the bridge (and obviously mounted so
that, even if hit, no force is transferred to the bridge parapets). The
beam might be a few cm below the bridge, but there might also be a hanging
fringe below that so it's right in the driver's eye line.


The only solution is ruinous punitive damages plus criminal charges
levelled against the driver.

If a bridge strike cost their insurers £50000 and the driver 6 points, I
be the standard of reading would shoot up overnight.
