“This Council notes the installation of 'safety features' in the shared space at Kimbrose triangle. These measures do not constitute a regulated zebra crossing and drivers and pedestrians are now confused as to whether the remaining section of road within the scheme is shared or not. The scheme has never worked as intended, due to poor design, and this tinkering with the layout is likely to lead to accidents.
This Council asks the Leader to enter discussions with the County Council to either install a proper pedestrian crossing or to take steps such as the installation of rumble strips and other cues to make the shared space more obvious to drivers and pedestrians.”
