ZEBRA CROSSING FOR THE AVENUES NR2

I think this would be an excellent idea for park access and school run

I have been visiting Heigham Park since 2010 and agree a crossing is needed.

This is a very good and welcome idea for all

I agree a zebra crossing on the Avenues would be helpful for children going to and from school.

I agree with the crossing at that junction but NOT with closing the avenues at the tree island between Rec road and College road, as that will cause those two roads and Portersfield Road and Jessop Road to become a congested rat run and increase crossing difficulties on these four road for children and families.

The volume of people, not only children, crossing this section of road at a busy crossroads really warrants a safer place to cross .The excitement of coming and going to school,an ice cream van,and the entrance to the park all distract people; making them vulnerable when crossing the road.

Great idea will be a safer rd if this happen

I have commuted along the avenues every day (by bike) for 20 years and have seen many near misses at that junction and some hits too.

A zebra crossing is a great idea.

A Zebra Crossing would be so much safer for my 3 children!

I regularly cycle or drive along this very section of Avenues Road after dropping my child to the Junior school. I have been confused as a cyclist and driver and had several instances where (while I am going slowly) children have stepped out. A Zebra crossing would make clear to all that traffic needs to stop at this point and allow children to cross safely.

A Zebra crossing is well overdue - this is a very busy road at School pick up & drop off times due to traffic going into the city ,not just parents dropping off their children

I see this proposed zebra crossing not as a consideration but, as a necessity. There are three schools within 2 minutes walk and a park/play area on the other side of the road. At the end of school there is so much pedestrian and road traffic it inevitably leads to confusion and therefor risk to children. City Council seem to be digging up half of Norwich at the moment, surely this job should be part of thier plans...

A MUST BEFORE THERE IS A SERIOUS ACCIDENT, IF NOT A FATAL ONE!!!

I am a parent of a child attending Avenue Junior School and agree strongly that a zebra crossing will make this crossing much safer.

I witnessed a "near miss" at this crossing approx 1 week ago. A car approaching the crossing stopped at the crossing, and 2 unaccompanied children (approx age 9 - 10) stepped into the road to cross. They did not check for vehicles coming from the other direction. A cyclist was approaching at speed from that direction, and the children stepped straight into it's path. The cyclist very nearly collided with the children, missing them only by a few centimetres!

This zebra crossing would significantly support our school's commitment to children and families walking to school. Wendy Cleary Chair of Governors Avenue Junior School

Would be great for all local residents and children . Also would be good for cyclists and other road users to STOP and there would be less confusion for all.
