FIXMYSTREET IN MK8 8DA
The following problems have been reported on Fix My Street within 2 miles of MK8 8DA:
Dangerous pedestrian crossing point, 30th April
I have previously reported this as a hazardous crossing point which needs to be assessed. Today I was nearly hit by a car as I attempted to cross. Cars come through the roundabout outside 100 Avebury Blvd heading towards the ice rink at high speed and there is poor visibility of pedestrians crossing despite this being a dropped kerb crossing point as a main route to the station (and no alternative routes) used by office workers and those visiting the ice rink (so children!). As a pedestrian I cannot see cars coming around the roundabout until the last few seconds, nor can they see me. Visibility is blocked to the right. Cars often speed here too which makes crossing dangerous. Lights or a zebra crossing would help alert drivers to the presence of pedestrians.
