Have your say on a new Greenford Avenue zebra crossing

What this consultation is for

Ealing Council is asking people what they think about upgrading the current uncontrolled crossing on Greenford Avenue between Cuckoo Dene and Kennedy Road to a raised zebra crossing. The aim is to make the existing crossing safer, particularly for school children and other vulnerable road users, by introducing a clear pedestrian‑priority crossing that is better understood by drivers.

Background

Greenford Avenue is a strategic route serving many schools, businesses and bus routes in Hanwell. The council is worried about the safety of children and other vulnerable groups using the existing crossing facility with no clear priority for pedestrians, motorists and cyclists.

What would change

The proposed raised zebra crossing would provide a clear place to cross the road for children and other pedestrians. Drivers would understand that they must stop at the zebra crossing when someone wants to cross the road. This is expected to make the area safer and reduce the risk of collisions.

The council has developed detailed proposals for this improvement, which are shown in the attached plan below.
