We have analysed the consultation responses and as a result of the analysis, we have changed the proposals.
We are now going improve the westbound cycle lane rather than remove it by installing a system of traffic cylinders, also known as wands on the inside of the cycle lane to provide a safer cycle route and greater segregation from traffic.
All other proposals will be delivered as consulted on, although further minor modifications will be considered prior to implementation.
We plan to begin construction in winter 2020/21.
Our consultation report can be found below.
We would like to know your views on our proposals along the A202 (Peckham High Street) between the junctions with Basing Court and Mission Place. The proposals aim to address identified safety issues, while providing a safer and more pleasant environment for those walking, cycling and using public transport in the area.
Tragically, along Peckham High Street there have been three fatal collisions since 2015, most recently in January 2020. TfL is seeking to eradicate deaths and serious injuries from our roads, in line with the Mayor’s Vision Zero policy for London. We believe that when people leave their homes each day, they should feel safe and confident about the journey ahead. By taking the following steps along Peckham High Street, we hope to create a safer road layout for everyone travelling in Peckham.
Our proposals also form part of the Mayor’s plan for Healthy Streets, a long-term vision to enable more people to walk, cycle and use public transport by making London’s streets healthier, safer and more welcoming.

Proposed changes to Peckham High Street - Rye Lane to Peckham Hill Street (PDF 531KB)
The proposals are the first phase of proposed changes for Peckham High Street. We are working on further changes to the junction of Peckham High Street and Peckham Hill Street. We will consult on these changes as soon as possible.
These proposals support the Mayor of London’s Transport Strategy and Vision Zero ambition to reduce road danger on London’s roads.
Journey time impact
We anticipate that our proposals will have no impact on journey times for all transport modes, including buses.
Healthy Streets Check
The changes proposed in this scheme are part of our commitment to deliver the Healthy Streets Approach. We are taking this approach to create a vibrant, successful city where the streets are welcoming to all and everyone can live active, healthy lives. The streets within this scheme and the proposed changes have been assessed by our designers against ten Healthy Streets Indicators using our Healthy Streets Check for Designers tool. This tool assesses the layout of streets against thirty one measures which produce an overall Healthy Streets Check score out of 100. We use infographics to show the current score for the streets within this scheme and potential scores based on our proposed changes. The Healthy Streets results can be seen in the diagram below.

Equality Impact Assessment
We are subject to the general public sector equality duty set out in section 149 of the Equality Act 2010, which requires us to have due regard to the need to eliminate discrimination, advance equality of opportunity and foster good relations by reference to people with protected characteristics. The protected characteristics are: age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex and sexual orientation. As part of our decision-making process on proposals for new schemes, we have had due regard to any impacts on those with protected characteristics and the need to ensure their interests are taken into account.
In considering the design of our streets, we closely consider the needs of all users throughout the design process. As this scheme is a significant infrastructure project we:
