The existing zebra crossings in the centre of Wollaston has been included on the pedestrian facilities programme. This is in response to reports of vehicles failing to stop, crossings being too close to the roundabout, and concerns about pedestrian safety.
The following measures are being proposed:

- The crossing on Bridgenorth Road by the bus layby (to the west) is being split into a two-stage crossing to reduce the crossing distances across each lane and improve pedestrian visibility
- All 3 crossings to be modified so they meet highway guidance including realigning the crossings angle/position so cars are not waiting across the zebras when waiting at the island
- Correcting tactile paving layouts and extend stop line distances to current guidance
- Add new LED belisha beacons
- 30m of buff anti-skid surface on the approaches to the crossings
- Review of street lighting
Details of the proposals are shown on the attached plan. Comments are welcome up to Monday, 21 September 2026.

Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council, as part of the low carbon agenda relating to transport, is engaged in the Office for Low Emission Vehicle funded On Street Residential Charge point Scheme to create an electric vehicle charge point network across the borough. This project is to encourage the move to electric vehicles which should provide a cleaner environment.
Part of the project is to provide on street charging points on the streets where off street charging facilities are not available. The stay is restricted to 6 hours, no return in 6 hours, 6am to 6pm all days, while charging/topping up batteries, primarily aimed at residents and their visitors in the area.
The project is a trial and therefore an Experimental Traffic Regulation Order (ETRO) has been used to introduce the electric charging places and the use of the bay will be monitored.
As part of the annual Safer Routes to School programme Roberts Primary School was identified for a scheme to include as part of the Council's 20mph School Zone initiative/policy an advisory 20mph school limit/zone.
This measure should have the desired effect of reducing vehicle speeds and encouraging a more responsible driving attitude whilst passing the school entrance located along Deepdale Lane. These measures will also compliment/match those which are present/existing along Robert Street for that entrance.
These provisional proposals are shown in more detail on the attached drawing.
