The Council is proposing to introduce road safety improvements in the Barkingside area covering an area bounded by the A12 Eastern Avenue, Cranbrook Road, Tanners Lane and Horns Road.

We are proposing to introduce a 20 mph zone to cover all roads in the area (there is an existing 20 mph zone around St Augustine Primary School on Loudoun Avenue and Veronique Gardens) including Cranbrook Road, Horns Road and Tanners Lane. The proposals also include the installation of traffic calming measures in the form of speed humps on roads where traffic surveys indicate traffic speeds are high.

We are intending to install approximately 80mm high (3.5 inch) speed humps on residential roads in the area (Ashurst Drive, Hastings Avenue, Campbell Avenue, Hamilton Avenue, Bute Road, Donington Avenue, Icknield Drive, Glenham Drive, Martley Drive, Parham Drive, Otley Drive, Headley Approach, Headley Drive, Emmott Avenue, Ardwell Avenue and Denham Drive and Bentley Drive).

The Metropolitan Police, London Fire Brigade, London Ambulance Services and Transport for London (Buses and Network Management) are being consulted on the proposals.

The following plans show the proposals in more detail:

Why make changes?

The main objective of the proposed scheme is to make this area safer for all road users. The proposed scheme will help reduce vehicular speeds, reduce the occurrence of collisions and improve road safety in the area. There have been 48 collisions resulting in injury (including 41 resulting in slight injury, 6 resulting in serious injury and 1 fatality) in this area in the latest three years for which data is available (to 30th June 2025).

Recent Transport for London data shows that 20 mph schemes contributed significant reductions of injuries compared to the general background trend such as:

  • 40% reduction in the number of people killed;
  • 34% reduction in the number of people killed or seriously injured;
  • 75% reduction in the number of children killed;
  • 35% reduction in collisions and a 36% reduction in casualties across borough roads;
  • 28% reduction in killed or seriously injured those walking, cycling, or riding motorcycles.

Lowering traffic speeds also makes our streets less polluted, and better and safer places to walk and cycle.
