Wokingham Borough Council's executive member for transport, Martin Alder, said the aim of the design was to slow down traffic and make drivers more aware of pedestrians.

Wokingham Borough Council has said previously it was "committed to road safety across the borough" and the petition would be considered as part of the normal process.

Thousands of people have already signed a petition calling for safety improvements at the junction between Old Wokingham Road and Easthampstead Road near Bracknell, Berkshire.

Road users said there was poor visibility for cars coming from Old Wokingham Road.

Wokingham councillor Marc Brunel-Walker, who set up the petition to change the junction, said it had been "the scene of many accidents over the last few years".
