Change Island Crossing at Junction of Broadfields Avenue & Broadhurst Avenue to a safer Zebra Crossing

We the undersigned petition the council to Change the existing Island Pedestrian Crossing at the Junction of Broadfields Avenue & Broadhurst Avenue HA8 to a safer Zebra Crossing with better school signage.

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.
