Council continues to improve safety with new parallel zebra crossing on Anlaby Park Road North

Hull City Council has announced that work to install a new pedestrian and cyclist crossing on Anlaby Park Road North will start next week.

The work will convert the existing signalised pedestrian crossing on Anlaby Park Road North into a new pedestrian and cyclist parallel zebra crossing.

The scheme is part of the council’s ongoing commitment to improving road safety and promoting active travel options to all residents.

The new parallel zebra crossing will be installed near the junction of Sibelius Road and will provide a safe and efficient way for pedestrians and cyclists to navigate the area.

Key information -

• work to convert the crossing will start on Monday 5 August and is expected to take 5 weeks to complete, weather depending

• the bus stop on this section of Anlaby Park Road North will be temporarily closed. Notices will be placed at the affected bus stop with more information

• the work will be undertaken by local contractor, Wright Civil Engineering Limited, on behalf of the council

Councillor Mark Ieronimo, cabinet portfolio holder for transportation, roads, and highways, at Hull City Council, said

“People tell me that improving road safety is a top priority for them. As a council, we are committed to improving and enhancing the safety of our road network, so I'm happy to see the new parallel zebra crossing on Anlaby Park Road North planned.
