Petition for safer travel for pedestrians and cyclists through Inchmore.
The school would like to encourage active travel for school children and the wider community, for health and environmental benefits. Concerns have been raised by parents and community members about the pedestrian and cycling crossing at Inchmore. There are no warning signs for oncoming traffic on this increasingly busy road. Vehicles are frequently seen speeding through the village of Inchmore and have been seen to go straight through red lights. We would also like to see a reduction in the speed limit in Inchmore to 30 mph. To increase the safety of people from Lentran, Newtonhill and Drumchardine, a pavement from the bottom of Lentran House to the crossing would be of great benefit; this would join up the existing network of paths in the area.
The measures we would like to see in place:
Reduction in speed limit to 30 mph
Adequate warning signs ahead of the crossing
Pavement on the south side of the road from Lentran House to the crossing

Reaching this point has been exhausting but seeing this level of momentum proves we are not alone in our concerns for Inchmore. I am tired of the daily risks our children face on this road and this support validates why we must keep pushing forward.

The position of the pedestrian crossing especially during the school run timing will be safer with a lower speed limit.
Walking and cycling to school helps to set important lifelong habits of being active. The health consequences of physical inactivity are huge. Communities should be more for the people who live there than for the flow of traffic through. Slowing the traffic, additional pavement and improved signage should help make it safer to walk and cycle here.
Too many times I have used the crossing and vehicles have driven right through the lights at red. It is very dangerous and an accident waiting to happen.
A pavement would be of great benefit, I too have witnessed vehicles drive through the red light at the crossing !!
The vehicles driving through inchmore is awful. I was at the traffic lights just about to cross, lights were red when a lorry carrying logs went straight through. If I hadn’t been there my son would have been knocked down.
We should be encouraging health and wellbeing, this particular route is so popular for cyclists and there has been way too many accidents.
It's something that's been needed to be done for years

A horrible car crash occurred at the traffic lights in Inchmore on the afternoon of Sat 23rd March because a driver did not slow down for a car intending to turn off for Kirkhill! No-one hurt but that could so easily have been a cyclist or pedestrian! Drivers on this road MUST slow down
