Euston Road Pedestrian Phasing

[Name Removed] made this Freedom of Information request to Transport for London This request has been closed to new correspondence. Contact us if you think it should be reopened.

The request was successful.

Dear Transport for London,

The junctions of Euston Road and Churchway/Duke’s Place has no pedestrian light phasing and pedestrians are forced to risk their safety when crossing. There are no natural gaps in the traffic light phasing that would support safe pedestrian crossing.

Please share relevant documentation including consultations and risk assessments relating to pedestrian crossing of this and surrounding areas of the Euston Road. I would also be grateful if TfL could confirm their current stance in writing of why pedestrian light phasing hasn’t been supported or built to date.

Yours faithfully,

Dear [Name Removed]

 

Our ref: FOI-1822-1920

 

Thank you for your request received on 15 September 2019 asking for
information about pedestrian phasing at the junction of Euston Road with
Churchway/Dukes Road.

 

Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of
the Freedom of Information Act and our Information Access Policy. I can
confirm we do hold the information you requested. You asked:

 

The junctions of Euston Road and Churchway/Duke’s Place has no pedestrian
light phasing and pedestrians are forced to risk their safety when
crossing. There are no natural gaps in the traffic light phasing that
would support safe pedestrian crossing.

 

Please share relevant documentation including consultations and risk
assessments relating to pedestrian crossing of this and surrounding areas
of the Euston Road. I would also be grateful if TfL could confirm their
current stance in writing of why pedestrian light phasing hasn’t been
supported or built to date.

 

An engagement letter (see attached) was sent to residents and businesses
on 15 April 2019 notifying them of our proposals to improve the junction
of Euston Road with Churchway/Dukes Road. These proposals included plans
to install pedestrian crossings on Dukes Road and Churchway, introduce new
advance stop lines for cyclists and ban the left hand turn from Euston
Road into Churchway.

 

Following feedback, the design was updated, with the main changes being
the relocation of the cycle stands from the westbound to the eastbound
footway, introduction of a cycle feeder lane on Churchway, introduction of
a two stage right turn for cyclists on Euston Road, and the proposed build
out on Churchway being removed to allow the Fire Service to turn left in
emergencies from Euston Road. Please see the attached design drawing.

 

Subject to approvals, we propose to commence the delivery of these
improvements by December 2019. We expect all works to be completed by
Spring 2020.

 

If this is not the information you are looking for, please do not hesitate
to contact me.

 

Please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to
appeal as well as information on copyright and what to do if you would
like to re-use any of the information we have disclosed.

 

Yours sincerely,
