Today, after walking my children to school, my daughter was nearly involved in an accident.<br/><br/>This has prompted me to escalate my concerns to the council for the lack of a safe road crossing at the Philip lane/Tottenham high road junction in Harringay. <br/><br/> <br/><br/>1. There is no traffic light with green man walk signal on the road between the old water well and dominoes pizza. It is not safe for children to cross in an area where there are a lot of primary schools and nurseries. This is an area of high footfall; I have seen over the years many pedestrians having to run to cross this road as they have been caught off guard due to no visibility of when lights have turned red or green. For me as a cautious mother who is very weary of this road, I myself was caught off guard which nearly resulted in my daughter having an accident. <br/> <br/><br/>2. From a driver’s perspective, it is also not safe for a vehicle to make a right-hand turn onto Philip Lane as there is no green light to signal it is ok for the drivers to turn into the road. Drivers have no visibility when the oncoming traffic on the other side of the road has moved from red to green and are just chancing a turn.<br/> <br/><br/>Please can you investigate the safety on this road and at the very least install a traffic light with green man walk signal to drastically improve the safety on this road and avoid any future accidents, injuries or death.<br/>
