Pedestrian/Cycle crossing A46 Nettleham Road Roundabout
Dear fellow residents
Nettleham Parish Council, are deeply committed to lobbying to
ensure the safety and well-being of pedestrians in our community.
The A46 roundabout, a critical traffic junction connecting major
routes, has become a cause for concern due to the lack of safe
pedestrian / cycle crossings. Pedestrians and Cyclists face
significant risks while navigating this busy intersection
especially during peak hours.
The Current Situation:
1. High Traffic Volume: The A46 roundabout experiences heavy
vehicular traffic throughout the day. Unfortunately, this also
means that pedestrians encounter challenges when attempting to
cross the road safely.
2. Risk to Pedestrians and Cyclists : Crossing the roundabout without a designated safe crossing poses a serious risk to safety. Vehicles often move swiftly, leaving little time for pedestrians to cross safely.
3. Accessibility Issues: Elderly residents, children, and people with disabilities find it particularly challenging to navigate the roundabout. The absence of proper crossings exacerbates their difficulties.
We urge Lincolnshire County Councill to take action to address this pressing issue.
Our petition seeks the following:
1. Pedestrian / Cyclist Crossings: Install well-marked pedestrian
crossings at strategic points around the A46 roundabout. These
crossings should prioritize safety and convenience for all
Pedestrians/Cyclists .
2. Traffic Calming Measures: Implement speed reduction measures near pedestrian crossings to ensure that vehicles slow down and yield to those on foot.
3. Improved Signage: Clearly indicate pedestrian/cycle routes and safe crossing points. Adequate signage will enhance awareness among both pedestrians and drivers.
Why This Matters:
Safe crossings are not a luxury; they are a fundamental right.
As responsible citizens, we must advocate for infrastructure that
promotes safety, accessibility, and inclusivity. By signing this
petition, we express our collective demand for change.
Sign and Share:
Sign this petition and share it widely with friends, family, and
neighbours. Together, we can create a safer A46 roundabout for
everyone.
Thank you for joining us in this crucial endeavour. Let’s
work towards a safer future for pedestrians and cyclists.
