Pedestrian crossing and bollards to improve safety
');
ROAD safety improvements could be made in Whitchurch high street.
The parish council is in talks with Oxfordshire County Council, the highways authority, about installing bollards along the pavement in front of the Ferryboat pub and a new pedestrian crossing near the junction with Eastfield Lane.
Members would like two trials to be carried out in order to show if the bollards would be effective.
The first trial would involve giving priority to traffic coming from the south as the street narrows to a single lane, where there are “Give way” markings at both ends so there is no clear priority for drivers.
