Living Streets have just launched a campaign to ensure the rules around how much green crossing time is allowed for pedestrians reflects research by University of London. This research shows  that most people over 65 years old can’t walk quickly enough to cross in time allowed. It’s also a dangerous problem for parents with buggies, young children.

Locally in East Dulwich we have the dreadful crossing points at the junction of East Dulwich Road with Crystal Palace Road and Adys Road. Immediately adjacent to this junction on the north east side is a great playground. 200m to the north a popular local school, Saint John’s and St Clement’s CoE Primary School. So it’s also a necessary route to school for many.

Do you support enough green time being allowed to make this junction safe for everyone crossing?
