Credit: Alper Cugun More than 1,200 people were injured and 68 people were killed while walking on or alongside London’s roads in 2019, figures have revealed. Of those killed, 44 were people crossing the road, with similar numbers reported in provisional figures for 2020. The shocking statistics were revealed in a meeting of the London Assembly today by Green Party member Caroline Russell, who also revealed that 261 junctions in London contain no pedestrian crossing signals. The Assembly unanimously supported Ms Russell’s motion that called on the Mayor of London to review pedestrian safety and to develop a plan to install pedestrian crossing signals at all junctions by 2030 in order to “close this worrying safety gap”.
