Urgent provision of pelican crossing, at junction of Flag Lane and Wistaston Road CREWE
Provide pelican crossing at the junction of Flag Lane and Wistaston Road, Crewe urgently.
Why is this important?
If ever a junction needed pelican crossings it's this one (flag lane/wistaston road at the crossroads).
I witnessed yet another near miss there today, when a child stepped out into moving traffic! He seemed distracted looking at his mobile phone and ended up literally a hairs breath off being hit by a moving car! Yes people shouldn't get distracted crossing roads, but it happens. There's also the need for vulnerable people to cross safely, ie: within an allotted time and with clear indication of when it is safe for them to do so. It is always an extremely busy juction, but during school term time is particularly horrendous with large groups of children of all ages heading to/ from the many different schools on that route.There's sadly going to be a serious accident one day. Please don't let a fatality be reason to act on this issue!
