Tragic loss and so young this road is so dangerous now there has been so many accidents and now someone has lost there life on this road they now need to look into sorting the road layout like traffic lights a bridge crossing could do with one of them near the train station too or just make it safer for people to cross or for people to drive

Such a tragic sad loss. Please Harlow council and essex police can you install more CCTV cameras as it seems like you ask for the publics CCTV and dash cam footage a lot when incidents happen. And if this busy road had CCTV like the motorways have then you wouldn’t need the public’s help again and again

Whilst it is tragic what has happened to this young lady there is an island close to where this tragic accident happened and also nearby a pelican crossing, people need to walk further to use these facilities, we including myself have all taken risks crossing the road when we thought can't be bothered to walk to the crossing but is it worth the risk??? Also remember there are two victims here, let's not forget the car driver who apparently had two children in the car at the time, also don't speculate until a final investigation has been carried out.
