The beeping to alert pedestrians to cross has not worked for four years

Reported via desktop in the General Fault category anonymously at 17:59, Tuesday 17 January 2023

Sent to TfL less than a minute later. TfL ref: FMS4142078.

THIS PEDESTRIAN CROSSING NO LONGER HAS THE 'SOUND EFFECT' TO ALERT PEOPLE THAT THE GREEN MAN IS LIT AND IT'S SAFE TO CROSS. IT'S BEEN LIKE THIS FOR YEARS. IT WAS ONLY TODAY WHEN I SAW A VISUALLY IMPAIRED WOMAN STANDING NOT KNOWING SHE COULD CROSS THAT WAS I WAS COMPELLED TO CONTACT YOU. SHE LITERALLY HAD NO OTHER WAY OF KNOWING SHE COULD STEP FORWARD. IT'S ALSO A CROSSING USED BY LOTS OF CHILDREN WHO PAUSE AND WAIT FOR THE SOUND EFFECT. IT'S THE CROSSING ON Waldegrave Road, TEDDINGTON AT THE JUNCTION OF LINDEN GROVE AND TEDDINGTON PARK ROAD. TW11 8LU.

  • The pedestrian crossing has a rotating cone on each of the 4 poles under the push button units and are working as required.

    The rotating cones are there to help people with visual & hearing impairments cross the road safely.

    The rotating cone starts to rotate as the signal turns green, indicating that pedestrians have the right of way
