Concerns have been voiced over people having to wait more than two minutes at a busy pedestrian crossing close to two schools 🚦
Scottish Greens Councillor Jon Molyneux has asked whether a maximum wait of 144 seconds at Shawlands Cross is acceptable as it is close to Shawlands Academy and Primary with pupils using it.
The convenor for neighbourhood services and assets said the council has been running a traffic control system to detect queue lengths and can change timings of traffic light sequencing throughout the day. The measures ensure bus priority and extend the green light for cycling pupils to pass as part of the Shawlands Primary bike bus.
He said the council had considered “enhancements” for Shawlands Cross that have proved successful elsewhere. Councillor Molyneux asked for an evidence based risk assessment to be done on the crossing alongside others as part of work at a reformed school streets governance group.
