Further to our work and the petition that was raised on this matter last
year, we recently met with a representative from Birmingham Community Safety
Partnership and local Police Inspector James Gooderidge to discuss developments
in how safety concerns on the A45 could be addressed.
We presented the
views of our constituents who have conscientiously written letters and emails to
our office and from this, the following points have now been forwarded to the
BCC Highways Department to look into further;
- The
Tesco lane merger down towards to pedestrian crossing near Yew Tree
Lane
- Visibility
for drivers on the A45 into City (at the traffic light junction with the Bill
& Bull onwards) there are 4 lanes of traffic to cross and only a single
traffic light column on either side
- Increased
signage for pedestrians near to shops, parks etc to inform them where crossing
are located. (i.e pedestrian crossing 50 meters this way → )
- Continued
monitoring of the data to assess how recent road alterations may have impacted
upon both driver and pedestrian behaviour.
I will continue to post further developments in due course.
