North Star Avenue - TOUCAN crossing installation

Swindon Borough Council have set aside funding for the installation of a new signalised Toucan crossing on North Star Avenue located between North Star roundabout and the junction with Ferndale Road. The site has an existing uncontrolled crossing point which accesses the cycle route to the rear of Ferndale Road and also provides vehicular access to the garages of these properties. An annual survey is carried out on requested sites to ascertain whether it is suitable to be upgraded to a controlled crossing. This site presented enough evidence of pedestrian and cyclist use to be upgraded to a Toucan.
