Change Island Crossing at Junction of Broadfields Avenue & Broadhurst Avenue to a safer Zebra Crossing
Broadfields Avenue is a busy road, with fast flowing traffic.
There are a number of schools on both sides of the road primarily
Tashbar School on Mowbray Road and Holland House School on the
corner of Broadhurst & Broadfields. With over a hundred
children in each school, many coming from either side of
Broadfields Avenue, the crossing can be extremely dangerous.
Traffic approaches fast from both directions and whilst there is an
Island Crossing next to the bus stop on Broadfields Avenue, this
does not obligate drivers to stop or slow down and most do
not.
A Zebra Crossing with warning lighting and adequate school signage
would be a lot safer and does not need a huge change in traffic
infrastructure as there is already an existing island in
place.
Why wait until there is an accident before creating a safer
environment for our children, especially now as the summer
approaches.
