Littleworth Cross - application of high friction surfacing 11th Nov - 13th Nov 2021

Surrey County Council via Councillor Matt Furniss, agreed several years ago to look at driver (and therefore other road users/property owners) safety at Litleworth Cross junction due to the number of vehicular accidents and near misses occuring there.

Last year saw the installation of some new, tall, high visibility yellow backed signs to increase driver awareness of the junction, but these only covered one of the approaches. Regular ‘Junction’ signs were also installed on Littleworth Road. Earlier this year, after further PC and resident action additional yellow backed road signage was installed to cover the approach from all directions.

More recently the speed limit on Littleworth Road was reduced to from 60mph to 40mph.

The application of high friction surfacing is quoted by SCC as a safety improvement and will be applied on each approach to the junction.

Works are due to take 2 days (weather dependent) and will involve road closures. Diversions will be in place. Access will be maintained for pedestrians and dismounted cyclists plus emergency vehicles in an emergency situation. Access to properties maybe disrupted.

Any issues with the works should be reported to SCC Highways.
