Road safety - pedestrian crossings

Most locations where it is possible to install pedestrian crossing facilities and where there is a demonstrable need already have them. The Council recognises that there are junctions on the main road network that would benefit from improved pedestrian facilities and will endeavour to make these improvements wherever possible.

However, traffic levels and the existing road layout often mean that such improvements are not always physically possible.

Implementing any type of crossing facility usually means a reduction in the available parking space and so is often subject to strong objections from local residents.
