As well as concerns about the safety of individual road junctions, there are requests for pedestrian crossing facilities, speed restraint measures (such as road humps), and minor issues such as new warning signs. Due to the large number of requests received, it is not possible to deal with all of them at once, as staff time and financial resources are both limited.
The Council's six Area Committees have responsibility for deciding how the available resources for traffic schemes are used. They review their programmes annually, therefore, selecting new areas for study that they consider should have the highest priority. In deciding on how the available funding should be used, the Area Committees will be guided largely by the potential for reducing personal injury road accidents. Much of the funding available to the Area Committees comes from Transport for London (TfL), specifically for tackling proven accident problems. The Council has to account to TfL for how this funding is spent, so it cannot be used to reduce dangers that are perceived rather than identified by accident records.
