Lower Clapton Road, Hackney

Facts About London

The proposed changes have been designed to help the junction operate more efficiently and are expected to result in improved journey times for all users, particularly bus services. We also expect that pedestrian crossing times would improve. The proposals have also been designed to reduce vehicle speeds and create a more pleasant environment

Why are we proposing this?

We have identified a higher rate of collisions at this junction compared to comparable roads, including a higher rate of collisions involving pedestrians. In addition we know that, during peak periods and weekends, the junction suffers from vehicle congestion and long delays for pedestrians to cross the road. Therefore we are seeking to implement a scheme that will reduce the number of casualties as well as make the junction more convenient for people to cross.
