Near miss for pedestrian on zebra crossing

Reported via mobile in the Roads/highways category anonymously at 18:53, Fri 27 June 2025

Sent to Reading Borough Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 7775950.

Woman driver did not see women crossing the Buckingham Drive zebra crossing. Yellow flashing lights are not strong enough for drivers to see the crossing in due time.

  • Completely agree. I've had 3 near misses here, 1 while walking across the road with my 2 year old. Half way across the road, the car carrier on driving through. If I had not stopped at the middle, they'd have hit us.

    It needs better flood lighting from above (not blinding drivers) so that they can see pedestrians crossing. Currently, it's not easy to see as a driver when being blinded by oncoming headlights.
