Feet First Report

Abbey Road 660x236

A worrying rise in the number of pedestrian casualties in London since 2011 has led to the London Assembly Transport Committee to recently publish a new report ‘Feet First – Improving Pedestrian Safety in London.’ The report’s recommendations include:

  • Appointing a senior representative to champion walking
  • Use an assumed walking speed of 0.8 metres per second to calculate minimum crossing times and audit sites where Green Man times have changed
  • To provide monthly data on pedestrian casualties
  • Develop plans to improve 24 collision hotspots by October 2014
  • Publish a timescale for implementing 20mph speed limits on suitable roads
  • Ensure road crime is included in Met crime statistics.
