Robin Hood Lane – Collingwood Road Area - Proposed Road Safety Improvements

Overview

Robin Hood Lane – Collingwood Road is a route for pedestrians attending schools and community centres in the area. The traffic flow on the route is busy and continuous. The route is part of the road network that provides access to Sutton town centre. Ward councillors, residents and school parents have raised concerns about road safety on this route.

The proposals include:

• zebra crossings,
• new islands,
• enlarging of an existing island and
• introducing a 20mph speed limit to form part of the existing 20mph zone in Collingwood Road running between Bushy Road and the A217.

The aim of the proposals is to reduce the risk of personal injury accidents, provide a safer environment for vulnerable road users and encourage walking and cycling in the area. The proposed zebra crossings will result in loss of parking (for details please see plans below).
