Question

Last year I was walking on the pavement on Rose Street, Wokingham by the pinch point near the Broad Street junction when I was hit on the arm by the wing mirror of a vehicle forced to the kerb by that width restriction. Since then, I have heard numerous reports of vehicles avoiding the width restriction by bypassing it on the wrong side of the road. This is a danger to oncoming traffic and pedestrians who will not be looking that way when crossing that half of the road. Furthermore, a fellow Norreys resident was recently reported in the press as challenging the Authority because he has measured the gap as being less than the 6'6" minimum required. No wonder cars are touching the kerb and hitting pedestrians as they pass through it. Will the Executive Member for Highways please commit to review this clearly problematic feature and make adjustments for the safety of all road users in Rose Street?
