The locations of the Borough's five most dangerous road junctions have been identified by Council transport experts.
The details suggest that, on the face of it, motorists, cyclists and pedestrians, should take particular care at these locations.
At the same time, papers prepared for Richmond Borough Council have identified the collision hotspots as a priority for safety improvements – subject to funding. However, some of the work might not be completed until 2023.
The five are -
- Sheen Road/Manor Road, Richmond - Junction is to be reviewed under the Richmond Town Centre project, a package of measures aimed at improving conditions within the town centre.
- King Street/Heath Road, Twickenham - Junction is on the A310 corridor. Subject to funding in 2022/23, it junction will be considered as part of a wider package of measures.
- Hanworth Road/Wellington Road, Whitton - Junction is on the A314 corridor. Subject to funding in 2022/23, it will be considered as part of a wider package of measures.
