Improve Road Safety Mansfield Road/Cross Street Area
We believe the area needs:
1) A zebra crossing on Cross Street between Mansfield Road and Arnold Mill Primary School or School Crossing Patrol Officer.
2) A speed camera on Mansfield Road on approach to Mansfield Road/Cross Street junction.
3) Some signs on approach to Mansfield road/Cross Street junction alerting drivers that there are schools nearby.
4) A longer interval after the red light comes on for cars and the green man comes on for pedestrians.

Why is this important?
These simple changes will have a significant impact on the safety of school children in the area and will prevent serious injury or death of a child. This area is in close proximity to three schools (Arnold Mill Primary school, Redhill Academy and Arnbrook Primary School) and a large number of children use the Mansfield Road junction and Cross street to get to and from school every day. The need for road safety is further strengthened because of recent serious road traffic incidents in this area that were reported in the media. In addition to this we have collected substantial anecdotal evidence of road incidents/near misses that have happened in the area as a result of inadequate safety measures.
