Leaf-design junction safety concerns rejected by council

Wokingham Borough Council commissioned consulting firm WSP to undertake a Stage 3 Road Safety Audit into the junction, which was completed in September 2024.

The audit made a number of recommendations, including adding “look both ways” markings to the crossing points, adding central islands and arrow markings to the roundabouts.

It also suggested adding hatching on to the approach to existing islands to reduce the risk of collisions.

The design team said the markings at the pedestrian crossings could “give the false impression that drivers have priority over pedestrians”.

Hatching leading up to the existing islands “could detract from the scheme approach”, designers said, noting the existing arrow on the bollard “should suffice”.

Other recommendations, including discussing moving signage for the nearby petrol station and trimming vegetation to improve visibility, were accepted.
