Bomore Road- Proposed Zebra Crossing

Overview

Please read the following information carefully before filling in our consultation survey, no later than Sunday 13 July 2025.

Enabling more journeys to be made on foot is one of the Council’s key transport objectives and helping to make it easier and safer for pedestrians to cross the road is an important step in meeting that objective.

The Council receives many requests each year for new pedestrian crossings from residents across the borough. We review every request to determine which locations are feasible, then each year we assess which ones will provide the most benefit. The assessment considers whether there have been any injury collisions at the location, how difficult it is for pedestrians to cross the road and how many people are likely to use the crossing. We then focus our resources on delivering the two or three sites that offer the most benefit to pedestrians.

This year, following requests from local residents, one of the sites where the Council is proposing to introduce a new zebra crossing is across Bomore Road near Avondale Park Road, by Kensington Leisure Centre. We propose installing the zebra crossing and raising it up to the level of the pavement to encourage drivers to slow down for the crossing.

To improve the visibility between drivers and pedestrians, we will widen the pavement slightly by Avondale Park Road and relocate one pay-by-phone parking space nearer to Walmer Road. This plan will also involve removing one pay-by-phone space to ensure driver visibility is maintained at a safe level.

The layout of the zebra crossing can be seen in the plan below.
