The project is aimed at enhancing safety by installing upgraded traffic lights, removing pedestrian islands, and establishing a new segregated cycle lane, positively impacting road users.
By removing pedestrian islands, the council believes it will reduce crossing times, which could help discourage risky crossings without waiting for the traffic signal.
Wandsworth Council intends to accommodate road users' needs while acknowledging potential traffic impact, predicting that driving patterns will normalize as people adjust to the changes.
Councillor Jenny Yates emphasized the council's commitment to improving road safety, especially for vulnerable users like pedestrians and cyclists, at the challenging Putney Bridge junction.
