Subject: Re: replacement zebra crossing
Hi
it isn't just people with a visual impairment who would be affected, but also some people with a learning difficulty, dementia or have cognitive impairments as well as assistance dogs and of course, cars, buses and other vehicles.
I imagine if it replaced a controlled crossing, then there is no way pedestrian right of way can be enforced.
There are some school crossing points which have different coloured pencil type columns in Manchester but they do not replace zebra crossings. There was a decision made in Manchester some years ago but which unfortunately hasn't been enforced that there would be no more Zebra crossings without consultation with MDPAG, and that alternative controlled crossings would be used wherever possible.
However, new Councillors and council staff along with massive cuts in funding has meant that this isn't happening any more.
Best wishes
Flick
