Pedestrian and cycle crossing improvements provide the opportunity for pedestrians and cyclists to cross the road more safely than their current situation allows.

Cycle Crossing facilities are located where there are existing off road cycle routes which would connect to the crossing point.

Crossings fall into one of two categories:

1. Signal controlled (Puffin, Toucan and Pelican)

2. Other crossings (Zebra, Pedestrian Refuge, Pedestrian Dropped Crossing)

Not every environment is suitable for all crossing types, for example, the only crossing appropriate for cyclists is a toucan crossing.

Request for a pedestrian and / or cycle crossing

The purpose of a pedestrian barrier is to guide pedestrians where there is a potential for conflict between pedestrians and vehicles. Short stretches of barriers are commonly placed outside the gates of primary schools and nurseries, to contain groups of pedestrians before they take their route.

Requests for the removal or alternation of barriers will also be considered if they are deemed to impact accessibility for wheelchair/ mobility scooter and pushchair users.
