Royal Hospital Road - Proposed Zebra Crossing by Ormonde Gate

Overview

Please read the following information carefully before filling in our consultation survey, no later than 23:59 on Sunday 26 April 2026.

Enabling more walking is one of the Council’s 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 various elements, such as 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 on delivering the sites that offer the most benefit to residents and visitors to the borough. 

This year, one of the sites where the Council is proposing to introduce a new zebra crossing is on Royal Hospital Road, on the northeast side of Ormonde Gate and West Road. The new crossing will be raised up to the same level as the footway, to make it easier for people to cross the road and to encourage drivers to slow down at the crossing.

The approximate position of the zebra crossing can be seen in the plan linked below.
