To improve the Safety of Pedestrians Crossing the A30 Egham Bypass

We the undersigned petition Surrey County Council to improve the safety of pedestrians crossing the A30 Egham bypass at the end of Hummer Road, Egham, by (i) decreasing the speed limit on the bypass from 50mph to 40mph, (ii) enforcing the limit by operating average speed cameras over the length of the bypass, and (iii) installing a signalised pedestrian-crossing across the bypass, in place of the unregulated crossing, to enable more people to access Runnymede Fields and Pleasure Grounds safely on foot and bicycle.

Tens of thousands of cars travel along this road every day, of which more than five thousand exceed the 50 mph speed limit (every day)*. Hundreds of people use the unregulated crossing daily, including with dogs and bicycles, and there has recently been a tragic accident requiring a foot amputation. Push-chairs are virtually unknown at the crossing on account of the dangers to small children. We urge Surrey County Council to act as we have petitioned, to improve the safety of this crossing and hence to enable more people, including families, to access Runnymede Fields and Pleasure Grounds safely, to the benefit of their health and well-being. *SCC speed data, May 2017 and Nov 2019
