Improve road safety on Lodge Lane , Keymer
Create a safe route for pedestrians between Keymer and the National Park
Why is this important?
We want West Sussex County Council to address the issue of pedestrian and cyclist safety on Lodge Lane.
Lodge Lane links the village of Keymer to the South Downs national park. A 40mph speed limit applies over the southern section of the road from Keymer to the junction with New Road (B2112).
This section of Lodge Lane has no footpath and is overhung by trees. Visibility is poor for motorists. There are no street lights in the area.
The route is heavily used by walkers, runners and cyclists of all ages at all times of day and night. It is an access route to Downlands school and a leisure route to the National Park. Guests staying at the camp site at the Lodge Lane/New Road junction naturally want to access village facilities, itself to be encouraged as a boost to trade.
Traffic on this stretch of road is likely to increase as a result of residential development in the local area, increasing the danger to walkers and cyclists.
We want West Sussex County Council to address this risk to members of our community, enabling us to move safely around our village and to encourage both local people and visitors to explore the village and the National Park.
