Oak Avenue - Proposed Pedestrian Crossing

Overview

Please note the closing date has now been extended to Sunday 5th November.

Richmond Council would like to hear your views on a proposal to introduce a new signalised pedestrian crossing on Oak Avenue, Hampton.

The Council received a petition to install a new pedestrian crossing on Oak Avenue in the vicinity of Old Farm Road and South Road.  In response, traffic surveys were undertaken to determine whether there was sufficient justification.  

Although pedestrian crossing movements were modest, the volume of traffic recorded was high and it is recognised that crossing the road, particularly during peak times, can be problematic for pedestrians. 

A site assessment was undertaken, and it was concluded there is only one feasible location due to the larger number of vehicle driveways in the area. This was on Oak Avenue just south of its junction with Langridge Mews.  

A crossing in this location would assist bus users accessing the southbound bus stop and facilitate pedestrian movements to/from Old Farm Road.

The proposed pedestrian crossing is shown here and includes:

• A signalised pedestrian crossing on a raised table
• Removal of 3 existing speed cushions
• Shortening the existing bus-stop clearway to 17 metres
• Removal of double yellow lines in the area of the proposed zig zag lines
