I would like to raise a few questions about the aforementioned junction. •Could you please provide me with the collision record at this location – fatal, non-fatal, serious, etc. •What is the process of putting red light cameras at this junction? •May I see the volume of repairs due to damage to traffic lights in the last few years? This junction is notoriously bad with vehicles and motorcyclists jumping a red light. I have personally seen this happen as well as the aftermath of vehicles either mounting pavements, hitting traffic lights (it has been seen that lights have been completed knocked over), etc. It is a dangerous junction and there are many restrictions that disallows many generic improvements. Being a councillor for twelve years I have tried to improve the junction, firstly, the timing of the lights and also, splitting 3 out of the 4 junction egresses being split into straight on/turn right lanes easing congestion. Whilst this has improved congestion this has most probably slightly increased the speed and fluidity of traffic flow. I would like TfL to install a red light camera, ideally, at each side, but most importantly, the north-south (South Ealing Road) and south-north lights. How can I go about installing these? What is the time lag from concept to implementation?
