Road improvements at the jct of Box Lane & Beechwood Park

Supporter

Improving this road junction is vital for the safety of everyone in our community. It will help reduce daily congestion, lower the risk of accidents, and make the area much more accessible for pedestrians and cyclists alike.

Two days before this accident a car didn’t stop as I was pulling out. It happens all the time. The traffic on box lane since the building of two large housing estates and the studios is horrendous. Huge lorries come down the road so fast. It’s only a matter of time before there is a tragedy. If these new builds are being approved then the road needs safety measures. Both my children now drive it’s a worry every time they leave the house. Please, it needs to be safer!!! For everyone!!!

I have also had a near miss accident when a car driven at very high speed swerved and missed hitting me by inches. The car driven at high speed could not be seen approaching the junction which is a death trap.

i drive down here regularly and do not want something similar happening to anyone else

Nicola Cowman

Extremely dangerous pulling out onto box lane

Richard McBarnet

It's such a dangerous roundabout. I see near misses all the time. People coming down Box lane seem to forget to give priority to the right. People coming out Beechwood forget those coming up Box Lane have priority and people coming up Box Lane seem to ignore that you are meant to go round the left of the roundabout, not the right.

As A resident this is essential for road safety, cyclists, and pedestrians. Traffic calming would resolve this hazard and avoid risk to life.

Laura McKay

I’ve had to slam on my breaks multiple times for cars coming up this road too quickly - so dangerous. Should have cameras.

So much pressure leaving beechwood park to box lane, it’s a roundabout but cars seldom stop and follow rules there

Peter Chapman

I live there and see the dangers everyday

Lee Chapman

My Dad lives in Osprey Gate

Sunil Modhvadia

This is very dangerous and needs to be addressed asap to avoid more people either speeding or potentially loosing their lives.

Martyn Rowland

I use this junction regularly and traffic in both directions on Box Lane drive far too fast when approaching the roundabout.

Jim Rowland

This junction is a death trap waiting to happen. Far too many vehicles coming down Box Lane totally ignore the signs and don’t even bother slowing down for the roundabout. I’ve lived in Beechwood Park for 11 years and have witnessed many near misses. Traffic calming measures on the approach to the roundabout are absolutely necessary.

Annette Miller-Golding

I am a resident of Beechwood Park and have had many close calls with cars speeding up and down Box lane whilst trying to pull out of Beechwiid Park. I have a teenager that is now driving and that roundabout always worries me. Someone will get killed if speed is not limited on both sides of this roundabout.

Helen Atkinson

Signing because I’ve had several near misses on that junction and people coming up or down on box lane don’t realise how little visibility you have so additional measures are needed.

Jordan Wilson

Because its extremely dangerous and nobody treats it like a roundabout , had many near misses while living here

Sarah Maher

I have family who live there and I want to keep them safe

Emmanuel Quist Therson

Dangerous conditions at junction roundabout; lots of near misses

Louise Harrison

I use this junction regularly and have family in Beechwood Park. Pulling out onto Box Lane can be extremely difficult and dangerous due to the speed of traffic. Something really needs to be done to make this junction safer.
