B4009 Longwick Toucan Crossing

Overview

Buckinghamshire Highways is proposing to upgrade the existing informal crossing on B4009 near the Sportsman Roundabout by replacing it with a new signal-controlled toucan crossing, repositioned slightly further northeast. The scheme also includes new and improved shared-use paths to better connect the crossing with surrounding routes for pedestrians and cyclists.

We would like to hear your thoughts on this.

Background

Safety concerns have been identified at the Sportsman Roundabout on the B4009 Lower Icknield Way, where current traffic conditions do not provide sufficient safe gaps for pedestrians to cross, particularly on the northeast bound approach. The existing informal crossing makes it difficult for pedestrians and cyclists to cross safely.

In response, a scheme has been developed to introduce a signal-controlled toucan crossing, along with new and improved shared-use path connections. These measures aim to enhance safety for all users and provide better integration with existing and future walking and cycling routes.
