Council says it will change 'Britain's most dangerous zebra crossing' to a traffic light crossing once it has funding — MP says videos of multiple collisions have left him 'absolutely horrified' cycling
A spokesperson said the council will change the zebra crossing to a traffic light signalled crossing"as soon as we can" once funding is received. The authority also stressed that high-visibility LED units and more visible white road markings had been implemented four years ago.
"I'm absolutely horrified to see this catalogue of incidents where cars have hit pedestrians on what is a well-marked and visible zebra crossing on Horton Grange Road, and it is evidently clear that we need to see much tougher action against those who seemingly have no problem with violating the rules of the road," he said.
Remember that traffic does not have to stop until someone has moved onto the crossing. Drivers and riders should give way to pedestrians waiting to cross and MUST give way to pedestrians on a zebra crossing . Keep looking both ways, and listening, in case a driver or rider has not seen you and attempts to overtake a vehicle that has stopped.
YorkshireLive, part of Reach PLC which also publishes the Daily Express, Daily Star and Mirror, claimed Jeremy Vine"sparks row with footage of Bradford cyclist being hit by car on zebra crossing".
