We have begged and hounded you for change @OxfordshireCC but it just went quiet. Nov 2020 audit proved crossing was not safe. @timbearder, @glynislabour and @CllrLiamWalker help us make this crossing safer, this year. Before we have more injuries @TheOxfordMail @TVP_Oxford

@timbearder Any of this budget going towards helping a community cross a road safely?

[Barton Park Crossing @park_crossing]

our crossing is turning into a outdoor museum of damage....just 2 examples

are those not essential?
if not, why are they there?

if yes, why are they not repaired? that bollard has been down for a year or more

@RichOUFC @DannyYee @TVP_Oxford @OxfordMailLive @AnnelieseDodds @OxfordCity we can agree to disagree. it should be 30 coming down to traffic lights and until marston turn off, then it can go up.

another day, another collision.

traffic light - broken again.
a photo highlighting how vulnerable any crossing pedestrian would be

would you want (your kids) to stand here?

@TVP_Oxford @OxfordMailLive @AnnelieseDodds
@OxfordCity

how many more collisions ??

[Barton Park Crossing @park_crossing]

@RichOUFC @DannyYee @TVP_Oxford @OxfordMailLive @AnnelieseDodds @OxfordCity it needs an *appropriate speed limit, appropriately enforced.

[Barton Park Crossing @park_crossing]

@RichOUFC @DannyYee @TVP_Oxford @OxfordMailLive @AnnelieseDodds @OxfordCity it needs a speed limit. its a road between two housing estates, not a race track.

[Barton Park Crossing @park_crossing]

the button to press the traffic light is actually on the left of the picture, right where the car crashed into.

@bigdamo Thank you!

[Barton Park Crossing @park_crossing]

@rail_guns @sharoncurtis No temporary pedestrian lights. Nothing has been done.

[Barton Park Crossing @park_crossing]

One collision with police and/or ambulance involvement every 2-3 months since January 2023

This is one of the most ridiculous bits of "value engineering" ever, a new estate reachable on foot only by a pelican crossing across a 50mph dual carriageway instead of a footbridge or subway

[Barton Park Crossing @park_crossing]

@celestialweasel We’ve done the numbers - since Jan 2023 we have had one collision including police or ambulance every 2-3 months.

[Barton Park Crossing @park_crossing]

@HelloPalendrome @TheOxfordMail @BBCOxTravel @OxfdPedestrians @OxfordshireCC I’m not sure this would have saved anyone’s life the traffic light got flattened by a 50+ mph lorry pushing a car

[Barton Park Crossing @park_crossing]

Another morning, another accident - this is where children would stand to go to school, or others to go to work. Residents have been raising #roadSafety for years - how many more accidents until someone listens? @TheOxfordMail @BBCOxTravel #oxford @OxfdPedestrians @OxfordshireCC

@bookllyfr @TheoHopkins4321 @OxfdPedestrians The cartoon was added to demonstrate where children would stand. And would have stood had this collision happened 30min later

[Oxford Pedestrians Association @OxfdPedestrians]

Oxfordshire County Council expects pedestrians to make a 2 mile detour, because drivers can't be expected not to crash into traffic signals.

[Barton Park Crossing @park_crossing]

Everyone is correct this was not an accident. This was a collision.
