Arragon Road School Safety Measures

Overview

The Council is consulting on proposed safety measures for St Mary’s School in Twickenham. 

You can see the proposals on a map here.

1. Arragon Road north-west of the entrance to Waitrose Car Park

A new zebra crossing will be introduced directly outside of the school to provide a safer and more convenient pedestrian crossing point in Arragon Road. The footways will be widened with the crossing placed on a raised table. This will reduce the width of the crossing point and encourage approaching drivers to slow down.

The new zebra crossing will result in the net loss of 3-4 Resident CPZ (Zone D) bays. To help off-set the parking loss, the Council is proposing to downgrade the existing double yellow line waiting restrictions on Richmond Road Bus Lane, between its junctions with Sion Road & Oak Lane, to single yellow line to allow parking overnight (7pm – 7am).  This change would then allow some additional overnight parking in the immediate area.

2. Arragon Road junction with Amyand Park Road

The Council will enhance existing cycle access through this area and reduce the likelihood of pedestrian/cyclist conflict. 

3. Arragon Road sharp bend & Amyand Park Road turning head

Double yellow lines will be implemented to discourage obstructive parking on both sides of the Arragon Road bend and within the Amyand Park Road turning-head.  This will ensure emergency vehicle access between Arragon Road and Amyand Park Road is maintained at all times
