New pedestrian island in road extends dangerously into marked roadway
Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 9339244.
The recently installed pedestrian crossing island has raised curbs which extend into the marked roadway. There is a significant risk that a car travelling in the marked roadway between the lines may, in poor lighting conditions, not see the protruding pedestrian island and mount it with its off-side wheels. This may subsequently damage the car's tyres, wheels or suspension and may cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.
