Transport for London (TfL) has invited the public to have their say on proposals to make five of the capital’s most dangerous junctions safer, as part of its Vision Zero commitment to eliminate death and serious injuries from London’s roads.

The £7.2m planned improvements aim to reduce the number of collisions and make the junctions safer for everyone. They will also make junctions easier to use for people walking, cycling and travelling by public transport. The proposals include new road layouts, wider crossings, segregated cycle bypasses and closures of some roads to motor traffic.  

Work is planned to start on the five junctions in the next 12 months, subject to consultation, and is being funded by TfL’s £2.3bn Healthy Streets programme, which is making London’s streets safer, more attractive, accessible and people-friendly places.

Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, said: “We know that a disproportionate number of serious injuries and fatalities on London’s roads occur at junctions, so it is vital we continue transforming junctions to make sure they are set up and designed around the safety of people walking and cycling. Not only will this investment reduce road danger but it will give more Londoners across our city the confidence to cycle and walk as part of their everyday routine.”
