Festing Rd / Albert Road Crossing LTP3 2017/18
Albert Road / Festing Road Junction -
Following several pedestrian casualties at this junction (recent 3 year period 01/07/13 to 30/06/16 shows a total of 4 collisions (3 serious) with 3 being pedestrians and 1 pedal cycle) improvements can be implemented to assist with the uncontrolled crossing.
These could include building out of existing kerb lines to reduce vehicle speeds entering/exiting the junction, extending the pedestrian island in length and implementing guard railing outside of the public house entrances to guide pedestrians to crossing facilities.
