REASON: The proposals are to introduce a number of new pedestrian crossing points along the A652 Bradford Road, Dewsbury and Batley. This work is being funded by a collaborative initiative between Kirklees Council
and the West Yorkshire Combined Authority to reduce high traffic volumes along the A652 which contribute to congestion, reduced air quality, and safety concerns for pedestrians and cyclists.
There are two types of crossings being proposed puffin crossings and toucan crossings, each is placed to assist pedestrians and/or cyclists, to and support the proposed improved cycling and pedestrian facilities along this corridor.
The implementation of these crossings is expected to improve road safety for pedestrians and cyclists.
