| I now see that the cycle lane markings join up a lot better than they did. A recent Mayor's Question Time item sought improvement in TfL's performance on this. Might we hope that the organisations that Hounslow use could also get their act together in a more timely fashion than ? five months ? "Cycle marking following road resurfacing Question No: 2013/4649 Darren Johnson A recent complaint from a constituent has revealed that, following resurfacing work by TfL, cycle markings can be delayed for days and maybe weeks, rather than hours for lane markings for vehicle drivers. As a matter of policy can you ensure TfL agree to the principle that reinstatement of road safety line markings that directly impact safety should not be unduly delayed following road repairs? Written response from the Mayor TfL confirm that road markings are reinstated as a matter of course as soon as physically possible following carriageway surfacing. Of course when conditions are wet, the road markings fail to adhere to the new road surface, and in these situations stop lines and pedestrian crossing markings are temporarily reinstated until such time as the permanent markings can be applied. As part of the ongoing resurfacing programme, TfL is taking the opportunity to review road markings and layouts to ensure they are fit for current purpose. It may have been as a result of such a review that your constituent witnessed a period of delay in cycle markings being applied. TfL undertake in future to complete all such reviews before any resurfacing commences." |
