New and upgraded pedestrian crossings on their way

There will be a new crossing on Hull Road, Anlaby

A new pedestrian crossing is to be installed in an East Yorkshire village, and another one is to be upgraded.

Hull Road in Anlaby will get a new crossing near Kwik Fit, with work taking place until 21 March.

The existing crossing outside the village hall will be upgraded to a puffin crossing, with work on that scheme taking place between 24 March and 18 April.

Traffic management measures will be in place between 09:30 and 15:30 GMT during the work.

It will involve dropping the kerbs, installing tactile pavements for the visually impaired, installing traffic lights and putting in new road markings, according to the Local Democracy Reporting Service.

A puffin crossing is a traffic-light controlled crossing that uses sensors to detect both those pedestrians crossing the road and those who are waiting to cross.
