Caroline recently visited the junction of Tavistock Place and Marchmont Street with local campaigner Lee Baker and Local Residents’ Association Chair Ricci de Freitas, to look at how dangerous the road layout had become.
The junction had been redesigned by Transport for London, resulting in a very strange cycle lane, with arrows going in all directions at one point, and pedestrian crossings not where people actually cross the road.
“The design of this junction is a great concern and very confusing to most people. I am glad that Camden and TfL are now looking at everything they can do to make this area much safer and to ensure whether you are a motorist, cyclist or pedestrian you can use the local streets safely” commented Lib Dem London Transport Spokesperson Caroline Pidgeon.
Caroline has tabled a question to the Mayor on this topic – you can see the question and answer here: http://www.london.gov.uk/mqt/public/question.do?id=26558
