Accident reduction measures
We use a wide variety of accident reduction measures across the borough. Contact us if you have a road safety issue that you believe needs further investigation.
There are many different types of accident reduction measures, but they generally fall into one of the following categories:
- Physical traffic calming measures - these include signs, road humps, chicanes, pedestrian crossings and mini roundabouts.
- Education - we take part in high profile publicity and awareness campaigns to change the public's perception of inappropriate speeds, increase seat-belt usage and support other Government initiatives. Our Road Safety Unit also provides information to all school age groups and to parents of pre-school children.
- Enforcement - we are working with the Police and the Mayor of London to introduce a speed limit enforcement action plan to help achieve a unified approach.
One (or a combination) of these measures is introduced at top priority sites as part of our accident investigation and prevention programme.
Contact us if you have a road safety issue that you believe needs further investigation. This could be a request for us to investigate the need for a new sign, pedestrian crossing or other traffic calming measure.
