Work has been completed to enhance the safety of the junction of Clarence Road with Queens Avenue in Dorchester.
Our aim is to provide clear pedestrian priority, including a controlled crossing, to improve the safety for vulnerable users and create a safer route for school children and older students.
The new layout:
- provides a zebra crossing in place of the School Crossing Patrol to provide a safer, controlled crossing facility at all times of day
- gives priority to Clarence Road vehicles, with Queens Avenue acting as sideroads with give way markings
- tightens up all the approaches to the junction to slow vehicles and provide crossing points (dropped kerbs and tactile paving) on the three other arms of the junction
- includes a table top at the junction to further help control vehicle speeds
