After hearing of yet another crash, a fatal one this time, I feel a need to start an action plan of sorts to see if we can with people power get the council /highways agency to listen and hopefully action with doing what's needed at this dangerous crossroad junction and get an island built. Sadly it will be to late coming for the junctions latest crash victim (a friend of my daughters mom) but it will save lives. I myself was one car length away from a serious collision some year's back to what was a life changing accident for all involved........ Let's get sharing and get some names on this petition and with enough signatures people power may win the day.......
I have been staring at these road signs again and it just feels like the council thinks we are invisible despite all the wreckage we have seen. I keep reading the stories people are sending in about their own near misses and it honestly keeps me up at night because the danger is constant for anyone just trying to get home.

I really never pictured people would jump on this so quickly but it just kept growing while I was out running errands and honestly it feels like maybe we can push the council to stop ignoring us now. Thinking about the friend I lost to that intersection makes all these names feel like a massive promise that we are finally forcing someone to see the danger.

not sure if an island is the answer but as a resident of Barnes hill this road is like a motorway and needs measures to slow traffic down.

strongly agree the amount of times ive almost been hit pulling out of there by speeding cars is unreal and the amount of times ive seen people jump red lights just before the junction as well is crazy something needs to be done

a great idea, either an island or traffic lights would suffice. Still remember Daniel Jinks's death and that was 15 years ago. Really hope this gets pushed through as it is renowned for tragic accidents.
