A515 Ashbourne Road Pelican Pedestrian Crossing Required
Install a Pelican crossing where the island crossing currently sits so residents from Central Drive and Ashbourne Road can cross safely into Harpur Hill and residents of Harpur Hill can cross too.
Why is this important?
The traffic should be doing 30mph on this section of A515 however most cars exceed this which leads the road to be hazardous to young children and the elderly. It is worrying to see that the bollards on the island crossing have been knocked down by vehicles... What if people were stood at the crossing when this happens again? I see an increasing number of children going to school, crossing this road. I think either a lollipop man is required / traffic calming measures or ultimately a Pelican crossing installing. There are crossings in place for other areas of Buxton where children cross regularly, why shouldn't Ashbourne Road be treated the same? Please consider the safety of residents before a bad accident happens.
