  • A12 Eastern Avenue at B177 Barley Lane and Hainault Road

    Created by Simon Munk // 1 thread

    TfL Overview

    Why are we proposing this?
    The A12 Eastern Avenue is a major strategic road on the Transport for London Road Network linking the A406 North Circular Road to the M25 and the east coast via Essex.
    Barley Lane is a large junction on the A12 in the local area of Little Heath, close to Redbridge College and King George Hospital in the London Borough of Redbridge.
    Currently, the only formal pedestrian crossing point at the junction is a footbridge over the A12 Eastern Avenue, to the west. This crossing is not step-free.
    There is a long-standing issue with traffic congestion at the junction, frequently highlighted by local residents and also staff and visitors to the nearby King George Hospital.
    We are proposing new signalised pedestrian and cyclist crossing facilities and road layout improvements at the A12 Eastern Avenue junction with B177 Barley Lane and Hainault Road.
    Our proposals intend to help traffic flow more smoothly, reduce delays experienced by right turning traffic at the junction, and make it safer for pedestrians and cyclists to cross the road.

    What we are proposing?

    Key features

    Improved traffic flow
    We want to reduce congestion and delays to traffic using the junction, in particular on the A12 Eastern Avenue eastbound and B177 Barley Lane northbound. We propose:
    - Changes to the road layout to lengthen the right-turn lane on the A12 eastbound approach. This would improve traffic flow, offering additional road space and increased capacity for vehicles. We would create space by cutting into the central reservation. This would require the removal of one tree, which would also improve the line of sight for traffic as it approaches the junction
    - New traffic signals (see pedestrian crossing improvements below) with optimised signal timings so that the whole junction can operate more efficiently
    - An additional green light stage in the traffic light sequence for vehicles turning right from Barley Lane, heading northbound
    - New white line-markings to provide clearer direction to vehicles.

    Pedestrian crossing improvements
    We want to make it easier for pedestrians and cyclists to cross the road at the junction in a safer and more direct way. We propose:
    - New signalised pedestrian crossings on each section of the junction, replacing all existing unsignalised crossing points. This would require the removal of pedestrian guardrail on the north western arm of the junction
    - The introduction of new shared pedestrian/cycle ‘Toucan’ crossings on the southern arm of the junction. The new crossings would link with the existing shared-use path
    - More pavement space on pedestrian islands
    - Footway resurfacing to improve the current poor pavement. Tactile paving would be installed at all crossing points

    Further information
    If this proposal goes ahead we would reduce the speed limit on the A12 Eastern Avenue through the junction from 50mph to 40mph for safety reasons. The reduced 40mph speed limit would span approximately 200 metres east and west of the centre of the junction, creating a safer environment for pedestrians and traffic.
    We also plan to have a general tidy up at the junction. This could include the replacement of some vehicle barriers and pedestrian guard-railing, relocation of street lighting and signage, and new planting on the central reserve.
    The existing pedestrian footbridge to the west of the junction would remain unchanged under this proposal.
    These proposals are part of our Road Modernisation Plan, which consists of hundreds of projects to make London's road network safer and more reliable.
    Subject to the outcome of this consultation, we hope to start works during summer 2017.

  • Proposed changes to the junction Kensington High Street with Warwick Gardens and Warwick Road

    Created by Simon Munk // 1 thread

    TfL Overview
    We are proposing to make improvements to pedestrian and cycling facilities around the junctions of Addison Road and Warwick Road with Kensington High Street.
    The location has been the site of an above average number of collisions in recent years, many of which involved vulnerable road users. Both junctions are used by high volumes of commuter traffic in west London, as well as by pedestrian visitors to local amenities such as Kensington Olympia Conference Centre. In response to the high collision rate we have worked with the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea to develop a set of proposals that would provide safer crossing facilities at both junctions as well as improvements for cyclists.
    The proposals form part of our programme to enhance safety for vulnerable road users on the Transport for London Road Network.

    What are we proposing?
    We are proposing new features at both of these junctions, including new signal-controlled pedestrian crossings and new advanced stop lines (ASLs) for cyclists.
    The following is a list of each of the proposed features. The order corresponds to the numbers shown on the map.
    1 Controlled, staggered pedestrian crossing at the junction of Warwick Road with Kensington High Street, to provide pedestrians with a dedicated time to cross the road in two stages using the central island
    2 Move bus stop on eastbound Kensington High Street away from the junction exit to allow cyclists better access across the junction
    3 Changes to bay on eastbound Kensington High Street to accommodate the moved bus stop and improve traffic flow. The bay would be moved slightly east and reduced from 15.3 metres to 10 metres in length to accommodate the moved bus stop. Operating times would be restricted to 10am-4pm Monday to Sunday. Max loading time would remain at 20mins
    4 New 5m cycle advanced stop lines (ASLs) on Kensington High Street eastbound and Addison Road southbound to provide cyclists with a waiting area ahead of the general traffic queue
    5 New signal-controlled ‘staggered’ pedestrian crossing at the junction of Addison Road with Kensington High Street to provide pedestrians with a dedicated time to cross the road in two stages using the central island
    6 Provide short section of bus lane and re-align road markings on westbound Kensington High Street to provide two full lanes past the bus stop. Hours of operation for bus lane would be Monday-Sunday 7am-7pm
    7 Resurface a section of carriageway on Kensington High Street to prevent water from collecting on the footway and carriageway
    8 New 5m ASL on the westbound approach to the junction to provide cyclists with a waiting area ahead of the general traffic queue
    9 New 5m ASL with central lead in lane on Warwick Road to help cyclists to travel ahead without conflict with left turning traffic
    10 Remove traffic island on Warwick Road to enable a safer movement for cyclists and other road users
    11 Re-align existing island on western arm of the junction to provide better access for left turning vehicles from Warwick Road
    12 Widen current 1m cycle lane to 1.5m on the eastbound approach to provide more space for cyclists
    13 Re-level footway on eastern arm of Holland Road to reduce the steep gradient

  • Proposed changes to the junction of Cromwell Road with Gloucester Road

    Created by Simon Munk // 1 thread

    TfL Overview
    We are proposing to make improvements to pedestrian and cycling facilities around the junction of A4 Cromwell Road and Gloucester Road.
    The junction has been the site of an above average number of collisions in recent years, many of which involved pedestrians. Cromwell Road is both an important arterial road for vehicles entering or leaving west London, and also the location of several popular tourist attractions, attracting thousands of pedestrian visitors each day. In response to the high collision rate, we have worked with the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea to develop two options that would provide safer crossing facilities at the junction as well as improvements for cyclists. Both options are included in this consultation.
    The proposals form part of our programme to enhance safety for vulnerable road users on the Transport for London Road Network.

    What are we proposing?
    We have identified two options for this junction.
    The main difference between the two options is the type of pedestrian crossing on the eastern arm of Cromwell Road, closest to the Natural History Museum and the Victoria & Albert Museum.

    Option 1 would include a new signal-controlled ‘staggered’ two-stage crossing of the road, in which pedestrians would move to a traffic island in the centre of the road and then wait for a green light before passing to the opposite side. This approach would allow us to retain the current left turn for all traffic from the northern arm of Gloucester Road onto the eastbound Cromwell Road.
    These are the design features that are specific to option 1:
    ‘Staggered’ (two stage) signal-controlled crossing on the eastern arm of Cromwell Road, to provide pedestrians with a dedicated time to cross the road in two stages using a central island
    Dedicated left turn lane on the western arm of Cromwell Road as the exit is reduced to two lanes, due to the widened central island needed to accommodate the staggered crossing

    Option 2 would provide a ‘straight across’ signal-controlled crossing of Cromwell Road in which the green light for pedestrians would enable them to cross in one movement, rather than waiting on a central island for a second green light. This would in most instances be a faster crossing for pedestrians compared to option 1, but would require the left turn from Gloucester Road to be banned for all vehicles in order to minimise additional waiting time for other road users. Our traffic count surveys show a peak hour average of 65 vehicles completing the left turn from Gloucester Road to Cromwell Road. These vehicles would need to use alternative routes.
    These are the design features that are specific to option 2:
    Straight across controlled crossing on the eastern arm of Cromwell Road, to provide pedestrians with a dedicated time to cross the road
    Banned left turn from Gloucester Road to enable the proposed straight across crossing to operate on Cromwell Road without unduly increasing waiting times for other road users
    Re-align yellow box markings in the centre of the junction, to ensure the eastern side of the box is aligned with the layout of the proposed crossing on Cromwell Road

    Both options share many of the same features, such as pedestrian countdown features on the crossing of Cromwell Road, new advanced stop lines (ASLs) for cyclists and a new pedestrian refuge island on the northern arm.

    These are the features that would be included in both options:
    Part width 5 metre deep cycle advance stop line (ASL) on the eastern arm of Cromwell Road to give cyclists a waiting area ahead of the general traffic queue, helping to improve their visibility and avoid conflict with left turning vehicles
    Widening of existing crossing area on the southern arm and left-turn slip road of Gloucester Road, to provide more space for pedestrians crossing the road
    Re-alignment of existing crossing on the western arm of Cromwell Road to better reflect the way pedestrians choose to cross
    Part width 5 metre deep cycle ASL on the western arm of Cromwell Road to give cyclists a waiting area ahead of the general traffic queue, helping to improve their visibility and avoid conflict with left turning vehicles
    Kerb re-alignment on the western corner of the northern arm of Gloucester Road, to provide space for the new central island
    Pedestrian refuge island on the northern arm of Gloucester Road, to give pedestrians a protected place to wait when crossing
    Loading bay on northern arm of Gloucester Road moved slightly north, to provide space for the new central island and ensure vehicles can turn left from Cromwell Road. There would be no overall reduction in parking space
    Reduction of southbound lanes from two to one on the northern arm of Gloucester Road to provide space for a central pedestrian refuge island
    5 metre deep cycle ASL on the northern arm of Gloucester Road to give cyclists a waiting area ahead of the general traffic queue, helping to improve their visibility. With option 1, this has the additional benefit of reducing conflict between cyclists and left turning vehicles.

  • Central London Grid / Quietway - Earls Court Square area

    Created by Simon Munk // 1 thread

    These junctions are part of the Central London Grid - a set of connected routes for cyclists across central London comprising a network of Quietways and Cycle Superhighway routes.
    As part of the Central London Grid, a route is proposed to run between Brompton Cemetery and Exhibition Road, along Bramham Gardens, Earls Court Square and Kempsford Gardens. We are therefore proposing changes to the junctions to make it safer and easier for cyclists, pedestrians and vehicles to cross.

    What are we proposing?

    Junction 1 - Earls Court Road / Bramham Gardens / Earls Court Square
    The proposed changes include:
    - Removal of existing island on Bramham Gardens and extension of footway to reduce pedestrian crossing distance
    - Widening of the pedestrian crossings on Bramham Gardens and Earls Court Square
    - Removal of existing island on Earls Court Square and provision of new smaller island with dedicated cycle stop line

    Junction 2 - Warwick Road / Earls Court Square / Kempsford Gardens

    Warwick Road
    - New signalised junction to allow cyclists, pedestrians and vehicles to safely cross Warwick Road. The traffic signals will be co-ordinated with other signalised junctions in the area and the changes are not expected to have a significant impact on journeys times for road users through the area, although vehicles exiting Earls Court Square will have to wait for a green signal as opposed to waiting for a gap in traffic as at present
    - New signalised pedestrian crossing across Warwick Road on the southern arm of the junction. This new crossing will ensure that pedestrians can continue to cross Warwick Road safely and without significant delay
    - Existing signalised pedestrian crossing removed (replaced by crossing on the southern arm of the junction). The existing double red lines will be painted across the removed zig-zag markings at the crossing
    - Existing parking bay relocated 40m to the south-east on Warwick Road due to the new signalised junction. The existing restrictions would apply to the relocated parking bay.

    Earls Court Square
    - Vehicles permitted to travel straight over Warwick Road, westbound from Earls Court Square to Kempsford Gardens. This movement is currently banned
    - Dedicated signals installed to inform cyclists of when to safely proceed from Earls Court Square
    - Additional cycle stands provided to replace those removed from Kempsford Gardens
    - Footway re-aligned to maintain existing parking for motorcycles, car share and local residents

    Kempsford Gardens
    - Existing contra-flow cycle lane widened for cyclists travelling eastbound on Kempsford Gardens
    - Dedicated signals installed to inform cyclists of when to safely proceed from Kempsford Gardens
    - Existing speed hump to remain to help control speed of vehicles travelling westbound on Kempsford Gardens

  • Home Zone in Furzedown

    Created by jon_events // 1 thread

    On-going petition to trial a home zone in the area indicated.

    Specific ask is:
    We, the undersigned, call on Wandsworth Council to pilot a home zone area on the east side of Mitcham Lane, from Fallsbrook Road to Blegborough Road, for a suitable period of time using temporary measures to see if the benefits from creating a permanent home zone outweigh any potential traffic disruption that may be caused.

    The Mini-Holland approach taken to filtering traffic in Waltham Forest gives an example of how other parts of London are creating safer streets.

  • Broadway Cycle Path

    Created by MartinGT // 2 threads

    Add a cycle path on the broadway road. This should be off the road as its currently unsafe and a race track. The grass verge is wide enough for there to be a cycle path added adjacent the current pavement.

    This would encourage more people to cycle between Horsforth & Farsley and people from Rawdon & Rodley to cycle to Horsforth then onto the Canal into Leeds etc.

  • Thames Path Quietway - Pensinsula Ward Proposals

    Created by Simon Munk // 1 thread

    Royal Borough of Greenwich are working with its partners Transport for London (TfL) and Sustrans to develop proposals for new ‘Quietway’ routes, to enhance facilities for people cycling or walking, whilst minimising impacts on other road users. This set of schemes would implement improvements along the cross-Peninsula section of the ‘Thames Path Quietway’ in Peninsula Ward. Further proposals for sections of this route in other Wards will be brought forward for consultation in due course.

    What is being proposed?
    For this set of proposals, we are consulting on the following schemes in the Peninsula ward:
    (a) Old Woolwich Road, junction with Lassell Street (scheme ref: QTP3b)
    A more people-friendly junction has been designed to benefit pedestrians and cyclists. This includes kerb build-outs to tighten the junction, particularly on the north side of Old
    Woolwich Road at its junction with Lassell Street, to improve the crossing point for
    pedestrians and slow vehicle speeds. One car parking space will be lost as a result.
    (b) Gibson Street, junction with Banning Street (scheme ref: QTP3c)
    New kerb build-outs are proposed at the junction of Gibson Street with Banning Street,
    which will move the ‘give way’ markings forward and so improve sight lines for cyclists
    turning right out of Gibson Street. In addition a ‘cycle hangar’ secure cycle parking facility is proposed for the wide footway space on the south-western side of this junction (corner of Enderby Street and Banning Street). No car parking spaces will be lost as a result of the proposals.
    (c) Southern Park (adjacent to Ecology Park; scheme ref: QTP8)
    An existing, well-lit, hard standing path borders the southern and eastern perimeter of the Southern Park (adjacent to the Ecology Park), linking West Parkside with the riverside path at Greenwich Yacht Club. No changes are proposed to this path itself; however it is proposed to clearly sign this section only as ‘shared use’ for cyclists and pedestrians. At the existing Toucan crossing at the junction with West Parkside/ Southern Way, extra space will be created by removal of a small section of wooden fencing, and relocation of a small tree.
    (d) Riverside, junction with Lombard Wall (scheme ref: QTP9a)
    Priority will be given to the Thames Path route, providing extra safety and security for
    pedestrians and cyclists. A raised table at the junction of Lombard Wall as it meets Riverside will slow any vehicular traffic. The western side footway will be improved for pedestrians. No car parking spaces will be lost from the proposals.
    (e) Riverside, junction with Anchor and Hope Lane (scheme ref: QTP9b)
    Priority will be given to the Thames Path route, providing extra safety and security for
    pedestrians and cyclists. The cycleway will be realigned to better connect with Riverside,
    and the junction will be resurfaced in green to provide increased awareness of cyclists. No car parking spaces will be lost from the proposals.

  • Billet Road E17

    Created by Simon Munk // 1 thread

    The Council has successfully secured funding from Transport for London (TfL) to improve safety for all road users along the whole length of Billet Road. In the last 5 years a total of 62 accidents which involved injuries and fatalities were recorded making this a particular unsafe area within the Borough. The scheme aims to reduce accidents along the road whilst improving the overall safety for all road users.
    In September and October 2015, we sent a survey to local people asking them to identify problems along the road and to tell us what they would like to see to help improve road safety. The results of the survey showed that people were most concerned about crossing the road, getting around the area and not feeling safe when travelling along the road.
    The top improvements people would like to see were; slower traffic, safer crossing points, protected cycle lanes and better pavements.
    We also asked Emergency Services about the issues they faced and what they would like to see to help improve road safety.

    Proposals
    Based on the results of the survey and the feedback from Emergency Services we have
    developed a set of proposals that aim to make improvements for all road users:
    • Bus stop improvements to provide better access for passengers including disabled users.
    • Improve and raise the existing zebra and signal crossings.
    • A new raised zebra crossing on Billet Road near Cecil Road.
    • 20mph speed limit along Billet Road.
    • Better and energy efficient street lighting.
    • Tree planting and footway resurfacing along the road.
    • A new raised road table at Billet Road’s junction with Guildway to reduce traffic speed.
    • Two-way, fully segregated east and west cycle track.
    • New ‘floating’ style bus stop to improve safety for cyclists and bus passengers.
    • Raised areas at junctions that prioritise pedestrians and slow traffic down.
    • De-cluterring of street furniture such as removing redundant posts and signs along Billet Road and side road entrances.
    • Parking bays relocated at certain unsafe locations along the road to be converted to
    segregated cycle track. New parking bays will be provided nearby.
    • Various waiting and loading restriction at locations of concern to improve road safety
    and ensure smooth flow of traffic.
    • Anti-skid surface to help prevent vehicles from skidding.
    Please note there are also a number of locations on the road where future improvements works will be happening outside of this scheme. These are highlighted as ‘future improvement works’ on the plan.

  • Traffic changes proposed for Cable Street, CS3 and area

    Created by Simon Munk // 1 thread

    The council is consulting with the public about making changes to traffic movements in and around Cable Street.
    The proposed changes are designed to alleviate the number of vehicles cutting through Cable Street to avoid congestion on The Highway.
    There are a number of vehicles using Brodlove Lane and Cable Street as a ‘rat run’ to travel from The Highway to Butcher Row.
    The changes to be considered by the public include one-way parts of Cable Street.
    It is also proposed that a number of measures be introduced to make the area safer for pedestrians and cyclists.
    A new bus lane will be created on a short section of Cable Street between Sutton Street and Watney Street. This will be supported by the closure of the north end of King David Lane to all motor vehicles.
    The changes will see a significant reduction in the amount and speeds of traffic using Cable Street and surrounding roads.
    In preliminary consultation with businesses and residents, the council was told cyclists are uncomfortable using the narrow two-way cycle lane.
    The council proposes the cycle lane be widened for cyclists travelling against the traffic, with cyclists travelling the other way joining the main flow of reduced traffic.
    The area between Shadwell Overground and DLR stations and Sutton Street will be completely redesigned to ensure priority for pedestrians.
    The proposals will also see the introduction of pocket parks and improved community spaces to make the area look and feel more attractive.
    Mayor of Tower Hamlets, John Biggs, said: “We have developed these proposals after being made aware of initial concerns from residents, businesses and people who travel through the area. These detailed and well developed plans will improve the area for all road users. We welcome any comments to ensure that we have taken everything into consideration.”
    Cllr Ayas Miah, cabinet member for environment, added: “For far too long the safety of people using Cable Street has not been given enough priority. These proposed changes will stop vehicles from cutting through the area for the benefit of pedestrians and cyclists. The aesthetic changes proposed will enable all local people to be proud of the area that they live or work in.”
    Full details of the proposals are being sent to 5,000 addresses along Cable Street and in the surrounding area.

  • Bedfont Road Cycling Improvements, Hounslow

    Created by Simon Munk // 1 thread

    The London Borough of Hounslow is proposing cycling and pedestrian improvements on Bedfont Road, an important link between the A30 Great South West Road and Chertsey Road that is served by the H26 bus route.
    This scheme's primary aim is to widen areas of footway in order to provide a 3m wide shared pedestrian and cycle route along the length of Bedfont Road, improving access to homes, businesses, and leisure facilities such as Bedfont Lakes. The proposals also include improved pedestrian crossing facilities and bus accessibility, which would particularly benefit vulnerable road users.

  • Proposed changes to Miller Street NW1

    Created by Mixhael // 1 thread

    Camden are consulting with residents of, and neighbouring residents to, The Three Fields Estate on Arlington Road.

    Part of their proposal is to remove the awkward dog-leg on Miller Street. Hurray.

    I know Miller Street is a popular east-west desire line and (sort of) connects up with Pratt Street.

    The proposal doesn't mention cycles. Boo. I'd hate to see it being pedestrians only. Although it's difficult to tell what is meant by the pink colouring on the proposed plan, it does look like their will be vehicular access in this area. Let's hope the existing filtered permeability will be maintained.

  • Lack of cycle crossing at Upper Boat.

    Created by Valleys Cycling // 1 thread

    Major roadwork are being carried out at Upper Boat including signalising junctions and installing footway (phase 2). Unfortunately the opportunity in both Phase 1 and 2 has been missed to install a cycle crossing to link the current cycle path from the South to Hawthorn via the Upper Boat PH cul-de-sac. This would have enabled safe cycle trips, avoiding the busy roundabout and given students access to the new college in Nantgarw.

  • Brunswick Square Walking and Cycling Improvements

    Created by George Coulouris // 1 thread

    Camden says: "To be delivered as part of the Central London Cycle Grid, the key aspect of this scheme proposes a road closure that would restrict access for motor vehicles between Lansdowne Terrace and Brunswick Square at the junction with Bernard Street. This closure allows us to create a large pedestrian-only area, provide a new cycle track, simplify the road layout and rejuvenate the area around the square."

  • Junction Road rat-run should be filtered cell

    Created by Space Pootler // 1 thread

    Junction Road is used as a rat-run by motorists between the A4 and Little Ealing Lane/Northfields Avenue. The problem is especially acute around Whitestile Road and Enfield Road (which is too narrow to accomodate this traffic).

  • Department of Transport’s Shared Electric Bike Programme in Chesterton

    Created by Roxanne (Cycling Campaign Officer) // 1 thread

    Compass Bikes, looks at deploying e-bikes (Raleigh Captus models) with community groups and housing providers, of which one is Hundred Houses in Chesterton. In short, the 5 e-bikes will be stationed at Hundred Houses’ head office on Scotland Road, and made available to staff and residents on a shared usage basis for a six month trial (launching March 14th)


    Should there be any potential collaboration angles Compass Bikes would be very keen to discuss these further.
