Road Safety Concerns for Oakleigh Road North, Whetstone N20
As local residents we are very concerned about motorists and
motorbikes going in excess of
the legal speed limit on Oakleigh Road North from All Saints School
to the mini roundabout by Russell Lane/ Pollard Road.
There have been a number of high impact accidents which the
emergency services had to be called for assistance:
- Collision during daylight outside bus stop/ Sacred Heart School
side gate in the early afternoon of 3rd May 2019. Street closure.
Cars involved were badly damaged.
- Collison during daylight at junction by Loring Road in the early
afternoon of 26th August 2018. Street closure for several hours for
investigation to be carried out. Driver had to be cut out by fire
brigade.
- Collision at midnight on 28th July 2017 at the junction by
Myddelton Park. Screams heard from the spot. Fire brigade cut out
the occupants. Road closure for several hours for investigation to
be carried out and to clear the road.
Photos of these accidents are available at request.
There are two big primary schools, All Saints C of E School and
Sacred Heart RC School on this stretch of Oakleigh Road North, but
there has been no road safety improvements or enforcement to
address the growing problem with motorists and motorbikes who use
this road as a racetrack and by doing so put others in serious
danger.
