Extra crossing and u-turn signs proposed for Tolworth greenway

Kingston Tories have proposed a slew of changes to the £3.1m greenway scheme, including "enhanced traffic smoothing measures" and signs reminding motorists not to make u-turns.

Conservative Alexandra councillor Richard Hudson said: "If you put a proper crossing there, with traffic lights, that costs tens of thousands of pounds.

"There's a Belisha beacon-type solution which may be an option."

Adding brighter paint or zig-zag markings to the current raised crossings could be on the cards, he said.

But Coun Hudson added: "I was partly wrong - the scheme has worked better than I thought it was going to."

Disability campaigner Adam Lotun raised concerns about disabled access on the greenway last year, including crossing points.

At the time Mr Lotun, who uses a wheelchair, said: "For me the only way to get across is the two ends. There is no way I will use an unmanned crossing."
