Purpose

The local member Mrs D. Taylor CC requested that a formalised crossing to assist pedestrians to cross Cropston Road would be considered to assist road safety.

Decision

To implement No Waiting At Any Time restrictions and Signalised Crossing on Cropston Road, Anstey.

Alternative options considered

The alternative option was to install a zebra crossing however, as it stands without speed reducing measures the speeds were slightly too high for a zebra crossing. To reduce speeds it would need a raised table at the crossing point, and this would pose engineering difficulties due largely to adjacent accesses.
