Petition

Queen's Road, KT2, spans from Kingston Park Gate to the junction of Kingston Hill, approaching one of the Kingston Hospital entrances. At the Kingston Hospital end of Queen's Road is situated an extremely complex series of traffic islands and traffic lights, directing traffic in two directions both up and down Kingston Hill. Added to this already challenging area for safe pedestrian crossing is the Albert pub's extended seating area on raised decking encroaching onto the accompanying pavement area. Anyone wishing to cross Queen's Road next to the Albert pub has great difficulty viewing oncoming traffic from the direction of Kingston Park Gate, as vision is impeded by the pub's decking area.

Crossing this end of Queen's Road is therefore hazardous: the only control of traffic is a set of traffic lights, not helped by an impeded view facing a constant stream of traffic exiting Kingston Park Gate and adjoining feeder roads.

We urge the Council to install a signal controlled pedestrian crossing as a matter of urgency.

Background information

A high volume of pedestrians attempt to cross this extremely dangerous area of the road every day, a serious accident is waiting to happen.
