What a pity this hasn't been consulted upon. That junction (of EDG and MG) is gagging for a better crossing, rather than just updating the existing Zebra.

Actually a consultation was carried out, James Barber linked to it on this thread when the subject was discussed before in August.

The consultation closed on 6th September.

My worry is that by focusing on the one zebra crossing it will make the others more dangerous, with cars speeding up moving away from Lordship Lane, already frustrated with having to stop at the other one.The zebra crossing outside the old hospital is already dangerous because of cars not stopping or even speeding up as they approach it.
Apologies if I've missed something in another thread but does anyone know what the outcome of the consultation was? I've noticed that some road works appear to be being undertaken on the section of EDG near Lordship Lane at present. Are these connected?

There was a crash Saturday night on the zebra crossing outside the hospital no pedestrians involved just a driver who lost concentration for a few moments and took out one side of the railings.


I am regularly shocked by some of the antics of drivers on this stretch of the road and have lost count of the amount of times people have not respected the zebra when I've been crossing mainly due to two reasons- speeding and overtaking buses at the stop.
