Open the Babington Road Consultation ... - Lambeth Council

QUESTION 8
Do you support the installation of a pedestrian crossing on Mitcham Lane?
86% SUPPORT (YES)
11% AGAINST (NO)
GENERAL ISSUES
People were keen to see this happen as it
would allow easier and safer pedestrian
movement between the shops, and through
the area as a whole. Those against the
proposal tended to be concerned about the
impact a new crossing would have on traffic
flows on Mitcham Lane.
RESPONSE
A number of people have raised the issue
that it is hard to cross the road at this point,
and this is why a crossing was explored. The
final decision on this will rest with TfL.
SELECTED COMMENTS
More is needed to keep people safe in Streatham
This is currently a death trap, especially for people leaving the religious buildings and negotiating
around stationary traffic and buses. A pedestrian crossing is sorely needed.
Absolutely. The road is a nightmare to cross on the way to the station every morning and
evening, and I can’t remember a time when I haven’t had to run at least part of the way to
avoid oncoming cars that swing round the corner.
Quite a difficult road to cross as a pedestrian due to traffic and large number of buses!
In theory - that junction is terrible for vehicles by St Leonards Church. Adding a pedestrian
crossing is likely to worsen it. However a crossing should be put in place
