"The project, which is funded by the Royal Parks charity and Crown Estate Paving Commission (CEPC), is part of a wider initiative to improve pedestrian safety in the Outer Circle and reduce collisions between road users and people on foot. The Royal Parks also launched a 'considerate cycling' campaign in April 2025 which urged cyclists to slow down and not skip red lights."
"'These wonderful, urban green spaces are incredibly important to so many people, and it's vital that they remain safe and welcoming for everyone. The installation of new, signalised pedestrian crossings on the Outer Circle is an important step in improving safety and helping people move around the park with greater confidence. 'The Royal parks are shared spaces, and we all have a role to play. By encouraging road users to slow down, respect speed limits and be considerate of others,"
Work has begun to install three traffic-light controlled pedestrian crossings around the Outer Circle at Monkey Hill Gate, Chester Gate and Kent Passage. The project is funded by the Royal Parks charity and Crown Estate Paving Commission (CEPC) and follows a fatal collision in 2022 and a serious collision in 2024. The scheme forms part of a wider initiative to improve pedestrian safety and reduce collisions between road users and people on foot. The Royal Parks launched a considerate cycling campaign in April 2025 urging cyclists to slow down and not skip red lights. Park enforcement officers can issue a £50 fine to cyclists caught jumping signals.
