Improving Road Safety in Rooksdown … we need your views
Rooksdown Parish Council is looking into the possibility of installing a pedestrian crossing at the junction of Elder Road and Park Prewett Road — right by the children’s play area and close to Castle Hill Primary School.
This follows concerns raised by residents about road safety in the area. Hampshire Constabulary recently monitored traffic at peak times and recommended that a formal crossing be considered. County Councillor Mummalaneni has also voiced support for the idea, suggesting it be formally submitted to Hampshire County Council after local consultation.
We’re also working with Hampshire Highways to install Speed Indicator Devices (SIDs) at key locations across the parish. These will show drivers’ speeds and collect data on traffic volumes and speeding hotspots — helping us build a clearer picture of where action is needed.
