Increase Road Safety By St Annes School BS4
Implement meaningful road safety measure outside St Anne’s Infant School BS4.
Why is this important?
Langton Court Rd running past the school has a blind bend by the school entrance and only a narrow pavement on one side. This makes walking and cycling unappealing and people have to walking the road.
A vehicle filter would help make the street and school safer. By having a ‘vehicle filter’ e.g. a flower planter, allowing only pedestrians and cyclists through, the road would be much more appealing for active travel. This would increase safety and encourage more parents and children to travel to school in a healthier way, reducing pollution and helping kids be more alert in class. Fear of road safety is a major reason so many people drive especially to school.
The blind bend and narrow pavement is an accident waiting to happen and a ‘modal filter’ could be installed with minimal cost (wooden box with soil).
This safe corridor route would also allow for people to use it as a safe alternative to Newbridge Rd.
A current consultation is ongoing to downgrade this proposal to a zebra crossing which will not be as effective especially with the lack of enforcement of road safety and evident speeding/poor driving in the area.
