We feel this request is vital as soon as possible because of many recent instances of near misses (with video footage), previous accidents having happened and the constant concern that a serious accident may happen soon.
The crossing is dangerous and needs upgrading because:
* the zebra crossing markings are extremely faded
* the beacon lights are not working (one does not flash at all)
* there is limited signage across the school sites for the public to alert drivers on their approach
* there are hardly any speed limit signs along Camphill Road so drivers exceed the 30mph limit regularly.
* some drivers assume the crossing is just another speed hump.
A zebra crossing is not sufficient for the volume of cars especially during school drop off and pick up. We request the immediate upgrade of this crossing to traffic light provision to protect our children and parents on what should be a safe crossing for school.
Thank you for listening.
