Zebra Crossing on St Barnabas Road
Sutton Council is investigating the feasibility of a zebra crossing on St Barnabas Road following resident safety concerns.
Sutton Council's Environment and Sustainable Transport Committee agreed in October 2026 to investigate the feasibility of installing a zebra crossing on St Barnabas Road. This decision followed a petition from residents citing safety concerns for pedestrians, particularly children attending Manor Park Primary Academy and worshippers.
Residents highlighted that St Barnabas Road, between Upper Vernon Road and Carshalton Road, is used as a rat run by speeding vehicles, with peak speeds recorded between 41 and 43 miles per hour, and lacks a safe, designated crossing point.
