Crystal Palace Parade Junction Consultation

Post by SE19 »

Southwark Council have started a public consultation on the twin roundabouts on Crystal Palace Parade.

The deadline for feedback is Monday 5 January 2015.

Southwark comment:
The junctions provide a key pedestrian route and cycle route to nearby train stations, schools, and recreational amenities such as Crystal Place Park. Both junctions are dominated by multiple traffic lanes, heavy vehicle volumes and high speeds. There are no formal pedestrian crossings to ensure pedestrians can cross the junction arms safety and there have been numerous recorded accidents involving cyclists, particularly when turning right from Crystal Palace Parade into Fountain Drive. The measures proposed as part of this consultation exercise aim to improve pedestrian and cyclist accessibility and safety, whilst ensuring minimal delay to traffic flow.

Crystal Palace Parade and Westwood Hill also form part of London’s Strategic Road Network and further modelling assessments may be required by Transport for London to quantify impacts on traffic flow and bus journey times, which may result in design revisions and delays to implementation.
