Four major types of crossing are listed below. Puffin and Pelican crossings are probably the safest types of crossing, however Zebra crossings are much cheaper and are only slightly less safe. Roads can become much safer with a Pedestrian Refuge Island if other crossings are too expensive. Pelican crossings are no longer installed in Bristol, so this page is for reference only.

https://www.trafficchoices.co.uk/crossing-upgrade.shtml

Adding a vertical traffic calming treatment to a crossing is likely to provide the greatest safety benefit.

Parking Issues | Traffic Choices - aiding traffic scheme decisions

https://www.trafficchoices.co.uk/parking.shtml

Cars can be parked in the road, or on a pavement or verge. Yellow lines can prevent all types of parking - both on the road or on verges and pavements. Yellow lines can be expensive as there is a lengthy legal process before installation. To prevent cars parking on pavements and verges, physical measures can be used. They cause an obstruction so cars can not pull onto pavements or verges. These costs are rough estimates only. Costs will vary over time, and between different locations. 1 x metal bollard).
