Petition details
Improve the A12
We the undersigned residents of Tower Hamlets note that:
1. The A12 is a dangerous road. Traffic regularly speeds along way
in excess of 40mph (the current speed limit). There have been a
number of accidents over the last few years and it is likely that
there will be a serious accident on or near the A12 before too long
- not least because there are a number of schools, homes and
community facilities near the road.
2. There are an ever increasing number of residential properties being built near to the A12, most notably between the Blackwall Tunnel and the Bow Roundabout. This area is changing significantly, with thousands more residents forecast to move into this part of the borough in the coming years.
3. That crossing the A12 in this area is generally an unpleasant experience - involving either negotiating fast moving traffic at crossings or going through subways, which are poorly maintained and many feel unsafe using at nighttime in particular.
4. Walking alongside the A12 is unpleasant too - pollution levels along this stretch of the road are too high for a built-up residential area.
