'Parisian-style' zebra crossing trialled in Denton

Thursday, 27 May 2021 15:02

Denton is playing host to a Greater Manchester first after the installation of a 'Parisian-style' zebra crossing.

It’s been painted on the road at the junction of Peel Street and Manchester Road.

It's been installed by Tameside Council in partnership with Transport for Greater Manchester.
