We demand a safe crossing of Tower Bridge Road at the junction with Queen Elizabeth Street through appropriate junction design and signal control.
At present cyclists have to squeeze through a narrow gap in the central reservation between light phases.

Hundreds of cyclists and pedestrians cross Tower Bridge Road at this spot every day, but there is no formal crossing, and a pedestrian was killed here at the beginning of 2014.

LCC policy area 3: Protected space on main roads.
Quiet zones help keep through motor traffic away from residential streets. But often people will need to cycle along main roads: because that’s where shops and workplaces are, or because they are the most direct routes.
Currently, most main roads make cyclists mix with heavy and/or fast moving motor traffic, which most people find scary. Dedicated space for cycling on main roads gives people of all ages and abilities access to the whole road network by bicycle.
