Tulse Hill Gyratory Safety Scheme

What we are doing

Whilst we continue to consider large-scale improvements at Tulse Hill, we plan to make some improvements at Tulse Hill Gyratory to improve the safety of pedestrians crossing the zebra crossings. This will include Tulse Hill, Norwood Road, Christchurch Road and Hardel Rise. 

The purpose of the scheme

Our studies and feedback received from stakeholders has indicated that traffic in the area is travelling at or above the current speed limit.  We also know that some vehicles weave and change lanes close to the zebra crossings in an unsafe manner.  The aim of this scheme is to improve safety for pedestrians and other road users in this area by slowing the speed of traffic on approach to the crossings.

We plan to:

Narrow the carriageway and introduce ‘slow’ markings in order to slow down traffic

Install bollards to reduce the amount of weaving on the approach to the zebra crossings

Provide more pavement space to improve the pedestrian experience.

Improve pedestrian visibility to drivers by removing over hanging foliage, reduce the number of large chevron signs, upgrade the bollards on the zebra islands, improve Belisha Beacons visibility by placing hoods on them.

We are currently finalising the detailed design for the scheme and intend to deliver the improvement in Winter 2024.

We have liaised with engineers and our bus team to ensure the changes won't impact the operation of our bus services. The bollards won't be located in areas that will impact the running of our bus network.
