PUBLIC PETITION
Short title: Redbridge Roundabout Accident Prevention Measures
To the House of Commons
The petition of the residents of Ilford North and others.
Declares that the petitioners are extremely concerned at the high level of reported accidents (average one a week) and the potential for more fatal accidents on the Redbridge Roundabout (LBR).
This is a major road junction on the east of London (reputed to be one of the busiest and most dangerous in Europe) carrying heavy traffic from the M11, North Circular Road and the A12. All connecting roads on the gyratory have traffic lights apart from one road, Redbridge Lane East.
Traffic from Redbridge Lane East is unable to safely join this constantly busy roundabout and only two or three cars can enter the roundabout on each cycle of the lights. This in turn causes up to 45 minute delays on reaching the roundabout and this generates pollution levels above safe limits, inconsiderate driving by frustrated drivers and stress and anxiety experienced by drivers contemplating taking the high risk strategy of trying to get across the roundabout without having an accident.
The Petitioners therefore request that the House of Commons to direct TfL (Transport for London) to install traffic lights at the Redbridge Lane East junction or at least to establish a system such as adjusting the existing traffic light timings so that at least 6 or 8 cars can safely get onto the roundabout on each traffic light cycle.
And the Petitioners remain, etc.Updates

This in unsafe for everyone including children's who cross the road in the sinal just after the mini roundabout. its totally unsafe as drivers have no consideration of wether children or elderly people are crossing. We need this sorted
This roundabout needs updating as it is one of the most crucial and also one of the most dangerous in London. Traffic lights are needed at every exit onto the roundabout but with a view to synchronising them properly with Wanstead and Gants Hill/Beehive Lane.
The exclusion from the traffic light system of traffic leaving Redbridge Lane East at the roundabout causes unnecessary danger or those attempting to do so, creates unnecessary congetion leading to excessive air pollution, and grossly increases journey times.
l have to drive through this roundabout to visit my daughter and I never look forward to it as it is horrendous with every driver weaving in and out to get to their correct position. So please Redbridge Council do the right thing and make this roundabout safer.
Something needs to be done quickly, the dangers are too much for those of us who live near the rounabaout. i live 500yards from the rounabaout, it takes me 30 minutes to get out of my drive and away round the roundabout to join the A406 everyday!
Safer with traffic lights
Need traffic lights, can't believe still nothing has been done with complaints for years. DANGEROUS!!

This roundabout is extremely dangerous, and a serious incident will happen unless there is something done to improve access from Redbridge Lane East. The traffic congestion on that road caused by the roundabout layout is terrible, not just at peak time.
