6. Signing and Lighting
Observation at Location L
Location: Keep left bollard located on the back of the staggered pedestrian island at the exit from the public transport interchange.
Description: 6.1. It was observed on site that the keep left bollard located on the back of the pedestrian island at the
exit from the public transport interchange is not visible to approaching road users (See Photo 22 below).

Recommendation:
6.2. The Design Team should reposition the bollard so that the keep left arrow is clearly visible to road users exiting the public transport interchange.
Location: Stop Line Elmer’s End Road on the eastbound approach to the signalised junction with the public transport interchange and Station Estate.
Description:
6.5. The stop line on the eastbound Elmer’s End Road approach to the signalised junction with the public transport interchange is significantly worn (See Photo 24 below). This could result in road users over shooting the stop line as it may not be clear especially during the hours of darkness.

Location: Lamp Columns located either side of the access to the public transport interchange.
Description:
6.7. The lamp columns located either side of the access to the public transport interchange were not lit during the night time site visit (See Photo 25 below).

Location: Stop Line Elmers End Road on the eastbound approach to the signalised junction with Croydon Road.
Description:
6.13. The stop line on the eastbound Elmer’s End Road approach to the signalised junction with Croydon Road is significantly worn (See Photo 28 below). This could result in road users over shooting the stop line as it may not be clear especially during the hours of darkness.

Location: Stop Lines, Croydon Road on the south west bound approach to the signalised junction with Elmer’s End Road.
Description:
6.15. The stop lines on the south west bound Croydon Road approach to the signalised junction with Elmer’s End Road is significantly worn (See Photo 29 below). This could result in road users over shooting the stop lines as it may not be clear especially during the hours of darkness.

Location: Croydon Road, lamp column located on the south eastern footway just to the north of the southern pedestrian crossing
Description:
6.17. The lamp column located on the south eastern Croydon Road footway just to the north of the southern pedestrian crossing was not lit during the night time site visit (See Photo 30 below).

Location: Croydon Road south western arm of the junction with Elmer’s End Road southern end of the central island
Description:
6.19. The southern end of the island located on the south western arm of the junction with Elmer’s End Road signalised junction is provided with a bollard. However, the bollard is provided with a clear aspect which rather than keep left arrow. Clear aspect bollards are normally used when road users can pass either side of an island. The use of a clear aspect bollard could be confusing to road users who may think they pass either side of the island into the oncoming traffic.

Recommendation: 6.20. The Design Team should provide a keep left arrow on the bollard to indicate to road users which
Location: Pedestrian / seating area located between the south western Croydon Road arm and Elmer’s End Road western arm of the signalised junction.
Description:
6.21. It was observed on site that the street lighting provided in the pedestrian / seating area located between the south western Croydon Road arm and Elmer’s End Road western arm of the signalised junction were not lit (See Photo 32). The lack of street lighting leaves the pedestrian route very dark and pedestrians may not feel safe to access the area.
