Traffic Calming and Safety Measures - Elm Avenue and Park Way, Ruislip

We the undersigned petition Hillingdon Council to address the following three issues on Elm Avenue and Park Way, Ruislip HA4. a) Speed Limit - b) Weight Limit - c) Pedestrian Refuge Island

I would like to draw Hillingdon Council's attention towards the following three issues on Elm Avenue and Park Way, Ruislip HA4.

a) Speed Limit - the current speed limit is 30mph, but in spite of electronic signage warning for this, this is routinely exceeded by vehicles on the road. Therefore, I would request Hillingdon Council to review traffic calming measures on this road, with a speed limit of 20mph or speed cameras; in the interest of safety.

b) Weight Limit - HGV over 7.5mt routinely operate on this road, especially during early morning and late evenings. This raises both noise and safety issues for the residents on the street. Therefore, I would request Hillingdon Council to review HGV weight and restrictions on this road in the interest of safety and environment.

c) Pedestrian Refuge Island - There are no pedestrian refuge islands on the road, in spite of the road being on a school route. School children crossing two lanes of traffic and a busy intersection (Elm Avenue-Lime Grove-Oak Grove) needs to be reviewed on a priority basis. Therefore, I would request Hillingdon Council to review the use of pedestrian refuge islands on the road in the interest of safety.

On reaching 20 signatures it will be formally considered by the Council and relevant Cabinet Member. Local ward Councillors will also be made aware of the petition. The Council's Democratic Services Team will keep the lead petitioner updated on progress.

This ePetition ran from 05/08/2021 to 08/11/2021 and has now finished.
