Collier Row Road/Clockhouse Lane /Chase Cross Road/Collier Row Lane Roundabout Collisions Reduction Scheme

Overview

Havering Council is looking for your views on a proposed safety improvement scheme for Collier Row Road / Clockhouse Lane / Chase Cross Road / Collier Row Lane Roundabout.  

The proposed collisions reduction scheme follows a feasibility study that was carried out and found that up to 1,400 vehicles per hour use Collier Row Roundabout with speeds of up to 35 mph regularly recorded on the approaches. Further analysis of collision records showed that there have been a total of seven personal injury accidents (PIAs) recorded at the roundabout.  Of these seven PIAs, all seven were slight; two involved pedestrians and one occurred during the hours of darkness. 

With funding being provided by the Mayor of London’s Transport for London office (TfL), we can now look at a proposed scheme which includes the following:

• Chase Cross Road pelican crossing centre island to be lowered and tactile paving adjusted to the current standard to improve pedestrian safety at the north section of the crossing.
• Look left and look right road markings at the exit of the zebra crossing in Collier Row Lane to warn pedestrians about the direction of vehicles.
• Existing zebra belisha beacon posts to be upgraded to internally illuminated posts in Collier Row Lane approach to see the crossing noticeable.
• Additional lane markings on the approach to the zebra crossing on Collier Row Lane from the roundabout

We would like to have your comments on these proposals.  The relevant notice of proposals and plans can be seen below, and can all also be found in the related documents section further below.

Large scale plans can also be seen on the Council website:

Please note we are unable to answer individual points raised at this stage, however your comments will be noted and taken into consideration when presenting the final report to the Council’s Lead Member for Environment.  Any issues will be addressed at that time.

All comments received are open to public inspection and the report will be made public.
