Between 5 February and 18 March 2016 we consulted on proposals to improve pedestrian and cycling facilities around the junction of Kensington High Street with Warwick Road and Addison Road.
We received 59 responses to the consultation from both members of the public and stakeholders.
56 per cent of people who responded to the corresponding closed question said they supported or partially supported our proposals. 42 per cent answered ‘No’ and 2 per cent did not have an opinion.
Having reviewed these results and the detailed comments provided by respondents, we have decided to proceed with the proposals, with some minor changes to the proposed changes to a loading bay on the eastbound Kensington High Street.
We intend to proceed with all other elements of the proposals and to begin construction in 2017, subject to funding and other factors. We will contact residents, businesses and property occupiers with relevant information before the start of any construction work in their area.

Update - 16 February 2016
Our description of feature number 3, concerning the loading bay on eastbound Kensington High Street, has been changed to clarify that the maximum loading time of 20mins would not change under these proposals, but the operating hours of the bay would be reduced.
Details of the consultation can be found below.
Update ends
We proposed to make improvements to pedestrian and cycling facilities around the junctions of Addison Road and Warwick Road with Kensington High Street.
The location has been the site of an above average number of collisions in recent years, many of which involved vulnerable road users. Both junctions are used by high volumes of commuter traffic in west London, as well as by pedestrian visitors to local amenities such as Kensington Olympia Conference Centre. In response to the high collision rate we have worked with the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea to develop a set of proposals that would provide safer crossing facilities at both junctions as well as improvements for cyclists.
The proposals form part of our programme to enhance safety for vulnerable road users on the Transport for London Road Network.
What we proposed.
We proposed new features at both of these junctions, including new signal-controlled pedestrian crossings and new advanced stop lines (ASLs) for cyclists.
The following is a list of each of the proposed features. The order corresponds to the numbers shown on the map below.
Traffic impacts
We have undertaken traffic modelling investigations that indicate the proposals can operate within the overall capacity of the junction and on that basis we do not predict any adverse impacts on users of these roads.
