We, the undersigned, following the tragic accident at the bottom of Bishop Street, call on Coventry City Council to reverse the dangerous and disastrous so-called “shared spaces” experiments in the city centre and urgently bring back controlled crossings, including traffic lights, to give pedestrians a safe time to cross the city’s roads.

it was fine the way it was. nobody asked for these changes and they clearly dont work.

What a waste of money. Just put the lights back and stop trying to be fancy.

its a death trap. nearly got hit twice last week just trying to get to the shops. bring back the lights before someone else gets killed.

Too much confusion at the bottom of the street. Drivers dont know who has right of way and walkers are just guessing. Put the crossings back.

TERRIBLE design. who thought mixing cars and pedestrians in the same space was a good idea? madness.
