Solar powered pedestrian refuges

 
New pedestrian refuges that the Council provides will all be carbon neutral. 

In the past such refuges would have required lighted bollards powered by mains electricity.

Solar power

Carbon-free solar panels will power the lights and "keep left" arrows on the new refuges. The bollards themselves are of the high visibility reflector type.

Advantages of using the new pedestrian refuges:

  • they are environmentally friendly
  • they are cheaper to build
  • no messy trenches need to be dug across our roads.

Lewisham Road example

Here is just one example of the pedestrian refuge in Lewisham Road, Greenwich, where there are four bollards in a row. Others are popping up across the borough, as and when needed.
