Request for safety review

The attached image shows a wall which has been crashed through by cars on at least two separate occasions in the past couple of years.

I do regularly experience cars taking the roundabout at high speed and can see this type of accident happen again at any time.

My worry here is that pedestrians will get seriously hurt the next time a car looses control there.

I would therefore like to ask for a safety review as perhaps placing a metal fence on the pavement will protect pedestrians.

    This stretch of Sevenoaks Road is not without incident - see CrashMap - and we too raised concerns via FMS in January this year - https://www.fixmystreet.com/ report/ 4162353 - asking for road danger reduction measures to tackle speeding divers and improve pedestrian safety. The design of recent roundabouts at Westerham Road / Heathfield Road and Crofton Road / Crofton Lane, for example, suggests a rethink of the two-lane entry to the roundabout at the Sevenoaks Road / Cardinham Road junction. Note also the desire path from Sevenoaks Road towards Strickland Way (previously highlighted in 2017 - https://www.fixmystreet.com/ report/ 1151783). TIA

  • Our traffic engineering team are continuing to investigate this location.

  • The practice of the Council for many years has been to investigate all locations where there have been 5 or more injury collisions over a period of 36 months. The locations are all investigated to look at the severity of the injuries and whether there is a pattern to the collisions. At sites where the collisions are of particular concern and appear to be treatable, the cost of making improvements is estimated and the benefit-cost ratio is calculated.

    The locations are then prioritised in line with the funding available. Locations with relatively few collisions will not be treated as it would not be feasible or an effective use of funds to investigate the site of every injury collision. If there are fewer than about 5 collisions, it is very hard to establish a pattern/common cause to develop a treatment.

    We will continue to monitor this location moving forward.
