A road near a Collier Row school is set to have new safety measures installed in a bid to make the street safer for pedestrians and cars.

Havering Council has proposed a set of crash prevention steps to be taken in Havering Road after a study found 85 per cent of vehicles were speeding on parts of the road.

These measures include installing a raised pelican crossing, a raised pedestrian traffic island, and raised speed table.

Uncontrolled pedestrian crossing points, kerb adjustments, a vehicle activated sign and a street lighting upgrade are also earmarked.

A collision reduction scheme for Havering Road was approved by Transport for London (TfL) in November 2022,

An estimated cost of £0.12m has been set aside for the implementation, that will be met by TfL.

Among the stretches of Havering Road surveyed in April 2021 was one outside number 443, which was north of Bower Park Academy.

The study showed that most cars exceeded the 30mph speed limit at five of the seven sites examined, with the highest speeds recorded at the site near Bower Park Academy as well as one at Tweed Green.

The council said that in the five-year period to the end of June 2022, 30 personal injury accidents were recorded along Havering Road between Kiln Wood Lane and Collier Row Lane.

Of these, one was said to be fatal, six were serious, two involved pedestrians and 12 occurred during darkness.

The proposed measures were approved by the council on March 8.
