The junction of Lordship Lane with East Dulwich Grove isn't safe - we demand it be made safer.

Updates

September 10, 2016

I have spent this week cataloging the recent traffic incidents reported at the junction of Lordship Lane and East Dulwich Grove. These accounts provide a compelling narrative that I intend to present directly to the local council planning department. I will provide a summary of their response once I have received it.

The level of engagement this petition has generated confirms that the safety concerns at the Lordship Lane junction are shared by a significant portion of our community. This collective momentum indicates a clear expectation for action regarding local infrastructure improvements.

This is a junction that is already crossed by huge numbers of schoolchildren daily and those numbers will soar once the new Charter School East Dulwich opens on East Dulwich Grove. Time to look at a way to make it safe for pedestrians to cross.

I frequently have near misses trying to cross safely with my son. And the number of drivers who don't indicate when turning off Lordship Lane at speed is staggering!

Had an incident where a lorry driver rushed to turn right from LL onto ED Grove, and purposely blocked me and my baby as we tried to cross, putting us in the way of oncoming traffic from different directions... Really frightening, and this needs a safe crossing for the elderly, those with access needs, families, and frankly everyone!

I was nearly run over when I was pregnant. And then I was nearly run over by a van when I had my new born in the buggy. To be safe, I now avoid crossing this junction and prefer to walk longer via safer roads!!

That this particular junction has remained untouched, despite several alleged phases of improvement at that end of the Lane, is surprising, annoying and potentially murderous. At the very least, we need an explanation as to why Southwark has refused to do anything substantial to make it safer for pedestrians, despite frequent demands. There is something very wrong here.

I am so glad that someone is trying to make our roads safer. My sister was run down by a hit and run driver at this junction, just before Christmas las year. She is recovering slowly but we could all be having a very different Christmas this. Please make our roads safer. Thank you.

This is a very dangerous intersection. It is inevitable that someone will be seriously injured as pedestrians need to look in 3 different directions at the same time and dodge traffic as they cross.
