Sustainable and Active Travel
Westminster City Council approved new zebra crossings in Bayswater to enhance pedestrian safety in March 2026.
Westminster City Council's Cabinet approved the installation of at least 20 new informal zebra crossings in the Bayswater ward in March 2026. This decision allocated £250,000 from the Neighbourhood Community Infrastructure Levy to fund the project. The initiative aims to improve pedestrian safety, particularly for vulnerable road users, by introducing low-cost markings at side-road locations.
The project is part of broader efforts to encourage sustainable and active travel, which involves promoting walking and cycling as modes of transportation. The funding for the Bayswater crossings was specifically allocated from the Bayswater neighbourhood area for strategic transport and connectivity improvements.
