Source evidence

How this individual concern was interpreted

PFD Monitor created a concise, searchable interpretation from the report wording shown below. Response links show a clear evidence connection; they do not assign responsibility.

PFD Monitor interpretation

Failure to maintain driver visibility of pedestrians approaching the road edge

Wider context from the report

“In the area of Grove Lane bordering Handsworth Park children and adults often cross the road to access the park gates. The road has a speed limit of 30mph and there is not a pedestrian crossing near the park gates. Opposite Handsworth Park there is a parking bay on the west side of Grove Lane that is frequently parked up and obscures the view for drivers proceeding along Grove Lane of pedestrians, particularly children, approaching the edge of the road. There have been several other serious accidents involving pedestrians crossing the road in the vicinity in the past 2 years. This evidence suggests that the speed along this section of road in conjunction with the parking bay creates a risk to pedestrians crossing the road. ”

Is this part of a recurring concern?

Yes — Failure to maintain driver visibility around parked vehicles; Inadequate control of pedestrian crossing risks.

PFD Monitor interpretation

Develop and consult on a local road safety scheme for Grove Lane, incorporating the report’s suggestions and stakeholder views.

Verbatim wording from the response

“Prior to receiving your report Grove Lane had been identified for assessment through this monitoring system and initial investigations are being undertaken to develop a local safety scheme at this location. The scope of these investigations will incorporate the suggestions contained in your report. A scheme proposal will be developed in consultation with the local residents, Ward Councillors and West Midlands Police. Following consultation, formal approval will be sought to secure funding to implement the scheme in line with the City's Governance procedures. It is my intention to implement a scheme in the financial year 2017/18 but would hope that if consultation goes well this could be as early as June /July 2017.”
