Dangerous Junctions

Work with TfL to fix the most dangerous junctions in the borough and provide pedestrian signals at all signalised junctions.

Collisions leading to serious injuries often happen at junctions, and addressing the many junctions in RBKC that remain dangerous is vital.

The issue is complicated in part because roads in RBKC are mostly controlled by RBKC, but some are controlled by TfL – and even for TfL roads co-operation is needed with RBKC, while RBKC need TfL co-operation for traffic signalling. It’s hard sometimes anyway getting change, but throw into the mix complexities like this and one can begin to understand why some very obviously needed changes such as those to the junctions along Chelsea Embankment (explained here) can take decades.

In summary, our goal is that dangerous junctions must be upgraded to meet government safety standards such as those set out in DfT’s LTN 1/20 guidance. There should be no signalised junctions without signalised pedestrian crossing arms, and the borough should work with TfL to ensure pedestrian crossing lights are installed on all arms of all suitable crossings, with cycle crossing lights and markings should also be considered for junctions being improved at the same time.

LCC’s most dangerous junctions map

Our friends and partners from LCC (London Cycling Campaign) have developed a dynamic map of London’s most dangerous junctions. The LCC Junctions Map has been created allow you to see just where the most dangerous junctions in your area are. Explore the map here.
