Toucan crossing at the Heathfield Road junction
This photo shows the new crossing under the flyover at the Heathfield Road junction with the A34. I've inset a screenshot from Google street view so that you can compare it with what was there before. When the scheme was consulted on, I was concerned that the crossings here would still be too narrow and convoluted, but I was happily surprised to find that the toucan crossings were of a good width and only slightly offset, so they will be able to carry a good volume of cycle users. It would be good to have a dedicated cycle crossing here going diagonally across, but it would have cost substantially more to implement as it would have required changing much more of the junction to accommodate that. The toucan crossings here are a good compromise that feel much more welcoming for people walking as well as cycling here.
