The NW corner, Wood Lane / Uxbridge rd junction of Shepherds Bush Green

This junction is now considered finished and there is a problem.

The problem is that the cycle crossing leads directly into a public convenience - admittedly disused. This edifice houses an electricity sub-station. Highways says any changes to this are to be considered as works on the Green and not as part of this junction. It cannot be moved. Tricky. It is unlikely that the situation will change before the end of 2005.

Late 2005: In the CRISP process for SBG the plan is to send cyclists to the north of the toilet block, ie to the left as seen in this image. Coming from the Common, it will be particularly dangerous, as it is on a blind corner, you cross the kerbline at about 20 degrees, and the space is used by pedestrians. see http://www.hfcyclists.org.uk/SBGfinal.htm

 

Another problem has now been dealt with. The feeder lane to an ASL [Advanced Stop Line] had originally been put on the right as in this picture. We argued that it would be more appropriate and safer on the left. Fortunately it was changed.
