Overview

Richmond Council is seeking your views on a proposal to enhance pedestrian safety outside the entrance to Hampton Hill Junior School on St James’s Avenue.

In recent months, there has been at least one reported road safety incident involving a school pupil and vehicle at this location. There was a school crossing patrol previously at this location; however, this is no longer in operation.

To address these concerns (and in recognition of the Council's commitment to road safety measures around schools), we are proposing a package of measures aimed at creating a safer environment for children, parents, and pedestrians.

Proposed Safety Measures

Measures Purpose / Benefit
Raised table with pavement widening along the western kerb-line Creates a level crossing area and improves visibility for pedestrians and drivers.
Buff-coloured surface on the raised table Enhances the visibility of the crossing area to alert drivers.
Bollards around tactile paving Highlights the new wider pavement and protects pedestrian space.
Extended guard railing Guides pedestrians to safe crossing points and integrates with the raised table.
Amended school keep clear markings to 8am-5pm on school days Ensures a ‘no parking’ zone south of the crossing point during the full school day to keep the crossing and school frontage clear.
Additional yellow line restrictions around the crossing Prevents parking near the crossing to maintain visibility and safety.
General footway and carriageway improvements Enhances the overall condition and usability of the surrounding pedestrian and road areas.
These proposed measures are designed to reduce risk and improve safety around the school pedestrian entrance. To view the proposed plan click here.
