TfL is consulting on improvements to the junction at Sussex Gardens and Edgware Road for pedestrians and cyclists.

We think it’s a huge missed opportunity to make this hostile junction much safer for cycling. Please take two minutes to complete the consultation – you could make some of the following points in your own words:

• Why not put protected cycle lanes on Edgware Road?

• Why not continue Sussex Gardens cycle lanes up to the junction?

• There’s a risk of vehicles turning left across cycles as they approach from Old Marylebone Road

• A much safer, up-to-date design would be a circulating cycle stage junction here, where pedestrians and cycles have their own separate phase across all arms at once.

Please check out the plans, support them and suggest improvements by 18 December.

Our group’s response to the plans can be found here.
