Jersey Road Safety Scheme
Hounslow Council is seeking your views on proposals to improve road safety on Jersey Road and Alderney Avenue. We want to hear from local residents, businesses and road users. Share your feedback by 30 November 2026.
Overview
Hounslow Council is seeking your views on proposals to make Jersey Road and Alderney Avenue in Osterley safer for everyone who uses them. The proposals respond to local concerns about vehicle speeds, a lack of safe places to cross and poor visibility at junctions.
They aim to reduce vehicle speeds, improve visibility at junctions and provide safer, more accessible places to cross, making it easier to walk, wheel and cycle locally for all road users.What are we proposing?
Location | What are we proposing? |
Jersey Road near Thornbury Road | New zebra crossing to provide a safer crossing point and improve pedestrian access to Osterley Park. The crossing will be on Jersey Road, just west of the Thornbury Road junction. To keep clear visibility at the crossing, approximately 10 metres of resident permit parking bay next to it (space for two vehicles) would be removed. Improved junction visibility and safety through revised give-way signs and road markings. New crossroads-ahead warning signs to improve driver awareness. Vehicle-activated signs to reinforce the 20mph speed limit, encourage compliance and discourage inappropriate driving speeds. |
Jersey Road near Herm Close / Cranmore Avenue | Vehicle-activated signs to improve driver awareness. |
Jersey Road at the Bassett Gardens junction | New pedestrian crossing point with dropped kerbs and tactile paving to improve accessibility and provide a more convenient connection to the path leading to Osterley Park. Improved junction visibility and pedestrian safety through a revised junction layout and footway build-out to help reduce turning speeds. As part of the revised layout, the right-turn pocket on Jersey Road would be replaced with an improved centre line. The existing parking bays will be kept. |
Alderney Avenue | Three pairs of speed cushions to reduce vehicle speeds and reinforce the 20mph speed limit. New pedestrian refuge island near the Jersey Road mini-roundabout, enabling pedestrians and vulnerable road users to cross in two stages and improving crossing safety. Double yellow lines would be extended on the approach to the roundabout. |
Jersey Road (from the Alderney Avenue mini roundabout to just beyond Stucley Road) | Four pairs of speed cushions to reduce vehicle speeds and provide a consistent approach to traffic calming along Jersey Road. |
How will these changes benefit you?
- Lower vehicle speeds and better compliance with the 20mph limit.
- Safer, more convenient places to cross, including to and from Osterley Park.
- Better visibility and driver awareness at junctions.
- Improved accessibility for people with mobility or visual impairments, with dropped kerbs, tactile paving and a refuge island.
- Safer, more welcoming streets for walking, wheeling and cycling.
Why are we proposing this?
The road safety study (2026) reviewed five years of collision data (2021 to 2025), carried out traffic and speed surveys, and observed how people walk, cycle and drive in the area. It highlighted several key issues:
- Pedestrian safety: 15 collisions resulting in 18 casualties were recorded between 2021 and 2025. A third of the casualties were pedestrians, including serious collisions on Jersey Road near Herm Close and near Thornbury Road.
- Speeding: the highest speeds were recorded on Alderney Avenue and on Jersey Road west of Penwerris Avenue, where there is currently no traffic calming. On some days, at least 15% of drivers were travelling at 24mph or faster in the 20mph limit.
- No formal crossings: there are no controlled pedestrian crossings anywhere in the study area, including on the routes into Osterley Park.
- Junction visibility: parked vehicles and the junction layout near Thornbury Road make it difficult for drivers and pedestrians to see each other, and turning vehicles were involved in several of the recorded collisions.
Why are we engaging?
We want to understand the level of support for these proposals, or otherwise. Your local knowledge will help us understand how the changes might affect you and whether any adjustments are needed before a decision is made.
