The report looks at Guernsey's 39 zebra crossings

The safety group STEPS has published a detailed report into all of the island's 39 zebra crossings.

The group has said it is concerned that many crossings are not, in its opinion, easy to see, particularly in wet weather and at night time.

Guernsey's Traffic Committee has said it wishes to balance the needs of motorists and other road users.

Speeding concerns

The STEPS report has taken six weeks to complete and contains colour photographs of all of Guernsey's pedestrian crossings.

The document looks at factors such as whether they are easily visible, the condition of the white lines and whether or not they need re-painting, and whether crossings are safely positioned.

STEPS also emphasises it believes most accidents are still caused by people speeding.

The group has put forward a number of recommendations which it says will improve the situation.

These include putting in place better lighting, more advance warning signs and introducing Belisha beacons into Guernsey.

The report follows the death of a man on a crossing last year.

Balancing needs

In its integrated transport strategy, the Traffic Committee has said the number of cars on the island posed an increasing threat to vulnerable road users, such as pedestrians.

The committee said: "We want to redress the imbalance between the needs of motorists and other road users."

Meanwhile, Guernsey's authorities are issuing a warning to motorcyclists who are riding in places where motor vehicles are not allowed.

The Board of Administration says a number of motorbikes have been spotted on parts of Mont Cuet headland, which are only meant for pedestrians and cyclists.
