Milton Keynes City Council as the Local Highway Authority proposes to establish two controlled (toucan) crossings on B4043 Buckingham Road between Standing Way and Windmill Hill Drive, under section 23(1) of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 (the Act):

The proposed toucan crossings come as a result of the section 278 agreement to provide two safe crossing links for pedestrians and cyclists along Buckingham Road. 

A section 278 agreement (or s278) is a section of the Highways Act 1980 that allows developers to enter into a legal agreement with the council (in our capacity as the Highway Authority) to make permanent alterations or improvements to a public highway, as part of a planning approval.
