Safety at London Road, Tring Greatly Improved as Hedge Height Finally Comes Down.
Dacorum's Clean, Safe and Green Team have now trimmed the hedge along London Road, Tring and cut it back to a safe height at the approach to the crossing at the end of Pound Meadow.
Many thanks to the team for getting this done - it really has increased safety and visibility a great deal.
Although I haven't noticed much of a change to traffic speeds, the young people do seem to be being more careful. The car drivers can now see them more clearly - but they can now see the cars approaching them.
Still to come:
(a) hedge cutting at the Station Road end of the Meadow
(b) parking restrictions to improve visibility where the footpath crosses Station Road
(c) a Smily/Sad Speed Sign on London Road (d) a zebra crossing on London Road if highways officers find traffic and pedestrian counts meet the criteria (I expect they will and I am urging that this gets built)
(e) second zebra on Station Road likewise.
