Yet another accident on Batchworth Bridge during the morning rush hour on Thursday 4th of August. A lady using the crossing was knocked down and taken to hospital.
Traffic was backed up along Riverside Drive.
It is the old problem of speed with a 30mph limit between two 40mph sections.
The County Council have, so far, refused to take any remedial action.
Following the recent accident on the southbound side of Batchworth Bridge on the 21st of January, we must continue our campaign to have the Zebra Crossing replaced with a Pelican crossing.
We have tried many times before and get really silly reasons from the County Officers as to why this is not possible.
The main problem is the short length of 30 MPH speed limit in between 40 MPH either side and drivers do not slow down for this short section of road.
