Pedestrian crossing changes planned for Lancaster roads
Changes are in the pipeline to pedestrian crossings along sections of the A6 and surrounding roads in Lancaster.
If the proposals by Lancashire County Council, under the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984, go ahead, a zebra crossing will be removed at the junction of Greaves Road and the Pointer roundabout in both directions.
Instead, a new parallel crossing will be introduced along the same stretch of road.
A parallel crossing is a non-signal-controlled road crossing that combines a standard pedestrian zebra crossing with an adjacent marked lane for cyclists.
Other parallel crossings will also be installed on the following roads:
a) South Road (A6), northbound, from a point 18 metres north east of its junction with the centreline of Railway Street for a distance of 22 metres in a north westerly direction;
b) South Road (A6), southbound, from a point 8 metres north west of its junction with the centreline of Greaves Road for a distance of 23 metres in a north westerly direction;
c) Bowerham Road, eastbound, from a point 6 metres west of its junction with the centreline of Meadowside for a distance of 17 metres in a westerly direction;
d) Bowerham Road, westbound, from its junction with Greaves Road for a distance of 25 metres in a north easterly direction;
e) Ashton Road, eastbound, from a point 6 metres southwest of its junction with Greaves Road for a distance of 18 metres in a south westerly direction;
f) Ashton Road, westbound, from a point 7 metres east of its junction with the centreline of Charles Street for a distance of 21 metres in an easterly direction.
Priority crossings will also be placed on the following roads:
a) Railway Street, from a point 5 metres west of its junction with Greaves Road for a distance of 3 metres in a westerly direction;
b) Meadowside, from a point 5 metres north of its junction with Bowerham Road for a distance of 3 metres in a northerly direction.
A copy of the relevant notice and plan indicating the location of the crossing maybe inspected during normal office hours at the offices of the Lancaster City Council, Town Hall, Dalton Square, Lancaster, LA1 1PJ and at the offices of The Director of Law and Governance, Lancashire County Council, County Hall, Fishergate, Preston, PR1 8XJ, and online at
