These proposals relate to Redcliffe Gardens on the A3220 in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. The area in scope of this consultation is shown below. 

A3220 Redcliffe Gardens forms part of the Transport for London Road Network. It is a one-way street between Old Brompton Road and Fulham Road.  

Bus boarders create a fully accessible area for wheelchair, and buggy users to get on and off the bus. They also help ensure buses can access the bus stop and re-join traffic more efficiently, which helps to improve bus journey times. 

Raised tables are raised sections of the road with a ramp each side, marked with white arrows to make road users aware. They are designed to slow traffic to a safer speed. The following image is an example of a raised crossing.

Major cities around the world are taking a stand to end the toll of deaths and injury seen on their roads and transport networks by committing to Vision Zero. London is at the forefront of this approach and the Mayor's Transport Strategy sets out the goal that, by 2041, all deaths and serious injuries will be eliminated from London's transport network. 

While the Vision Zero strategy is being set by The Mayor of London, Transport for London and the Metropolitan Police, the responsibility for its success is shared by all, including those who have a role in designing, building, operating and managing our transport network as well as everyone that uses it. 

We are working closely with the Mayor of London, London boroughs, the police and other partners to eradicate deaths and serious injuries from our roads and make London a safer, healthier and greener place. We place Vision Zero ambitions at the heart of everything we do. 

Helping more people to walk, cycle and use public transport is at the heart of the Mayor’s vision to transform London’s streets and create a healthier, fairer and more sustainable city for everyone.  

The Mayor’s Transport Strategy sets out how investing in our streets using the Healthy Streets approach can improve air quality, reduce congestion and help make London's diverse communities greener, healthier and more attractive places to live, work, play and do business.   

London’s streets account for over 80% of its public space. Turning these streets into places where people want to walk, cycle and take public transport will help communities connect, while allowing Londoners to start enjoying their city again as we recover from the pandemic.  

Creating streets for walking, cycling and public transport will also tackle pollution and congestion, and make it easier for people to build healthy activity into their daily lives.
