Consultation Northaw Road East Pedestrian Crossing

Following a petition received in February 2025, Hertfordshire County Council has investigated concerns about road safety at the existing zebra crossing on Northaw Road East, Cuffley.

The crossing is located north of the Theobalds Road/Kingsway junction and serves as an important pedestrian facility that helps people cross Northaw Road East safely.

It is particularly well used by pupils attending Cuffley Primary School, situated on Theobalds Road.

What they are proposing

As a result of this investigation, Hertfordshire County Council are proposing to make some alterations to the existing Zebra Crossing facility. These alterations are as below:

• Widened Zebra Crossing to be reconstructed on top of a 65mm raised flat top road hump.
• Improvements to street lighting in the vicinity of the pedestrian crossing.
• Kerb alterations at the Theobald’s Road junction to accommodate new road hump.
• Relocation of existing belisha beacons to increase conspicuity of the crossing.
• Anti-skid road surfacing on approaches to crossing to increase conspicuity of the crossing.
• Reconstruction of existing Speed Cushions on the approach to the crossing.
• Installation of Advisory 20mph School Speed Limit to operate within school hours.

A drawing showing the above alterations is shown in the attachment.
