Purpose

The purpose of this decision /
report for consideration is to recommend the introduction of
various proposed road safety measures as identified from
1)WSP Transport Report, and 2)engagement with the Kenley Community Action Group.
The engagement included previous site meetings with ward
councillors and resident representatives in February 2023. The
proposed measures that were identified are as follows: 
 
     
i.       
To provide uncontrolled pedestrian crossing
facilities at entrances to both the Aerodrome and Coulsdon Common
along Hayes Lane in the form of hard standing areas or kerb
buildouts. This is to assist pedestrians crossing from the Common
to the Aerodrome and vice versa, improving pedestrian
safety.
 
    
ii.       
To adopt road markings in Abbots Lane along the bend
in the vicinity of Zig Zag Lane aimed at speed reduction as drivers
navigate the bend
 
   
iii.       
To introduce a “No Through” road sign at
the entrance of Kenley Lane. Currently drivers are not aware that
this road has no through access and is not a connecting road.
Residents have raised concerns about drivers having to carry out
reversing manoeuvres as they approach end of the road, which
creates disturbance and increases the level of car borne
pollutants.
