Atworth pedestrian crossing halo lights
There is a very frequent occurrence of traffic not stopping for
pedestrians while they are actually walking across it. The village
school, the youth club, Over 55s and many individuals have all had
experience of this dangerous situation.
We believe that additional measures are needed to make it safe.
There are two main improvement measures, one is extending zigzags
which is being addressed; the other is the need to make the
crossing lights brighter in daylight hours. This is best achieved
by flashing LED halo lights.
The street view towards the crossing includes our clock tower,
parked buses, and bright grit bin. These may distract drivers from
seeing the very dim crossing lights until they are actually on the
crossing.
We need to make the crossing as visible as possible in daylight
hours. Our major housing areas at Godwins Close, Mead Park, Purlpit
and Mount Pleasant all need to cross at this point to access the
village hall, the recreation ground, the school, chapel and
church.
We would like a grant towards installing halo lights with some
contribution from Atworth Parish Council for this essential
improvement.
