You can request a pedestrian crossing if you think an area needs one.

You'll need to tell us:

  • where you want a crossing
  • why you want a crossing  

You can also ask us to improve an existing crossing.

Request a pedestrian crossing

What happens next

We'll assess the area to see if it needs a crossing and what type. We review requests by looking at the:  

  • location, for example, if it's close to stations or schools
  • record of accidents involving pedestrians
  • amount of vehicular and pedestrian traffic
  • difficulty pedestrians face from oncoming traffic
  • length of time pedestrians have to wait before crossing

If we agree that a crossing would benefit the area, we'll include it as part of a future work programme or funding bid.

Pedestrian crossing signals

Transport for London (TfL) maintains signals and traffic lights at pedestrian crossings.
