In 2018, a campaign was set up by residents who want to see the introduction of crossings and a 30 miles per hour speed limit on the A12, which is advertised on the Tower Hamlets Labour website on behalf of the local residents, calling on the council to contact City Hall and Transport for London on their behalf to improve the safety of the A12.
