Thank you for your request received by Transport for London (TfL) on 24 February 2020 asking for information about a yellow box junction at West Hill SW18 / Fire Station Road.

West Hill SW18 / Fire Station Road Markings:

I require details on when the Yellow Box Junction at West Hill SW18 / Fire Station was last painted.

The yellow box juncton on West Hill near to the Fire Station were previously re painted in 2017 and normally last for four years. However it was noted in December that the lines were starting to fade so a works order through our London Highways Alliance Contract (LoHAC) was raised for this work to be carried out. A specfic date is yet to be confirmed.

Furthermore I require details on whether Transport for London has ensured that in darkenss and low light visibility that this box junction is clearly illuminated.

There are three 150-watt standard bulb lamp columns that illuminate the entire yellow box junction. No reports or inspections have stated that these are not working as they should be, meaning that the junction is illuminated during darkness.

If this is not the information you are looking for, or if you are unable to access it for any reason, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to appeal as well as information on copyright and what to do if you would like to re-use any of the information we have disclosed.
