Make Headley Road zebra crossing safer!
Improve the safety at the zebra crossing following a serious incident on the Headley Road zebra crossing, Liphook. We would like to see immediate and significant change to this crossing and measures to police and reduce the speed of cars and improve driving behaviours on Headley Road with the aim to improve the safety for children, families and adults of all abilities crossing this road.
Why is this important?
There has been an increase in dangerous driving and speeding on Headley Road, Liphook which has resulted in a number of serious incidents on the zebra crossing near Liphook Infants and Junior School. The crossing is a key route for families travelling to school.
The children, families and adults of all abilities who use this crossing perceive this to be a significant risk. Recently people have been hospitalised as a result of drivers not stopping. The community is seeing an increase in 'near misses' during school commuter times and throughout the day. The increase in dangerous driving and speeding could lead to more injuries or even fatalities. Before this happens, the community want to see this crossing improved and the policing of behaviours/speeding to be increased significantly. Whilst we appreciate that this issue is an increasing concern for all residents regarding the arterial roads of Liphook, the zebra crossing, Headley Road, is the main concern of this petition.
