Road widening needed
Reported via desktop in the Road Defect category anonymously at 11:48, Mon 15 August 2022
Sent to Bromley Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 3754807.
I have lived in this area for long enough to recognise the dramatic increase in traffic over the past 5 years or so. Come on Bromley Council, it's about time that this section of Tubbenden Lane (between Beechcroft Road and Tubbenden Drive) was widened. Approaching this section of road from the A21 is becoming dangerous - the bend of the road limits visibility and there are far too many large trucks and lorries that are driving either too fast or are taking up the entire width of the road - or both. Despite driving slowly myself, I am sick and tired of nearly having my car smashed into due to this increase in large vehicles using a road too narrow.

This report has been referred to our Traffic Management Team who are responsible for the way traffic is managed on Bromley's roads; including, but not limited to, implementing new road markings and signage in relation to road safety and parking; walking and cycling improvements, including identifying locations for new cycle racks and installing Vehicle Activated speed signs - however, please note that responsibility for enforcing speed limits rests with the Police.
Where requests are made for changes, our Traffic Management Team will consider all requests but often there is a need for a full investigation, planning and consultation within the local area particularly around proposed new traffic schemes, and any considerations must be balanced with borough-wide priorities. This report is now closed on FixMyStreet and our Traffic Management Team will consider this matter.State changed to: Internal referral
