Transport for London
Transport for London (TfL) is the Highway Authority for the A11 Whitechapel Road and is responsible for managing, maintaining and improving this route for all road users. Our job is to make the safest and most appropriate use of London's busiest roads.
There are often competing demands for road space, which can be broken down broadly into three groups:
- People who want to drive, walk, cycle or use public transport
- Freight and essential service traffic
- Places for Londoners to live, work, shop and sustain local communities
Our role is to carefully balance those competing demands to provide a well-designed, sustainable and accessible road network, sympathetic with the particular characteristics of each street. We encourage sustainable travel, promote safety and improve the urban environment by providing wider pavements, better pedestrian crossings and more facilities for cyclists.
