  Suffolk Design: Streets Guide

  Our consultation is for a new Streets Guide, which will assist designing streets for new residential developments especially by promoting walking and cycling.

  You are invited to comment on the Suffolk Design: Streets Guide by completing the survey.

  The consultation will run from 16 December 2020 until 5pm 10 February 2021.

  What we are consulting on

  This emerging guidance will assist with the design of new residential developments showing how best to create sustainable transport layouts that promote walking and cycling

  The District, Borough and County Councils of Suffolk have been working to improve the design new development through the Suffolk Design initiative. As part of this programme, the County Council commissioned Stantec to produce a new Street Guide to update guidance for residential streets.

  Attached is a draft of the emerging Street Design Guide and you are invited to shape the final version of the document.

• 2-way Cycle Tracks - do cyclists use them in the contraflow direction?

  Created by Bruce Lynn 15 October, 2020 20:54 // 2 threads

  • design

  Observations on the recently opened Cycleway 4 in South London indicate that 25% of cyclists choose NOT to use it in the contraflow direction. This is consistent with the view of many cyclists that it is better to be on the "correct" side of the road.  A short report of the counts on CW4 is at

  I would be interested if anyone else has similar findings. and in general how people feel about 2-way tracks.  TfL seem to like them (use a bit less space, a little cheaper). But if they are significantly less likely to be used than two 1-way tracks, this information might get us better designs.

• Rutland Road/Pitsmoor Road Junction Improvements - North Sheffield Better Buses

  Created by Matt Turner 22 November, 2015 21:12 // 3 threads

  • design

  A junction redesign for the junctions of Rutland Road/Cooks Wood Road and Rutland Road/Pitsmoor Road.

  The design is very bad, with only ASLs for cycling and multi lane roads which require people to cycle in the outside lane for some movements.

  I've done an audit of the design here: http://www.greatgasbeetle.com/sheffields-rutland-roadpitsmoor-road-junction-rated-zero30-on-the-london-cycle-design-standards-junction-assessment-tool/

  The council meeting discussing it is here: http://sheffielddemocracy.moderngov.co.uk/ieIssueDetails.aspx?IId=18391&Opt=3

  • design

  Sustrans invites comments by 30 June on its draft chapters of a "Cycle-friendly Design Manual".

  This document, once published, could influence local authorities to provide better, safer cycle routes, and so persuade people who are not yet cycling their every day journeys to do so.

  Your comments please to designandconstruction@sustrans.org.uk by 30 June.

• Dangerous T junction

  Recently a cyclist was knocked off here while trying to turn right out of Constantine Road . The car driver took the corner without obeying the white line markers. Needs hard infrastructure changes .

• Sawston crossing

  Created by Tim Burford 23 December, 2013 09:58 // 0 threads

  • design

  I couldn’t tell from the Cyclescape map interface whether there is already a thread on the crossing at the northern junction to Sawston - but I see that it is now being rebuilt, and there seems to be a quite a sizeable central island. Did the inadequate plans get changed? (and why has there been no mention of this if so?)

• Impermeable junction

  Created by James Avery 10 March, 2013 03:12 // 1 thread

  • design

  Cyclists prohibited in either direction continuing on Barras Lane. Classic case of high profile £2m bridge nearby (Hill St), but no follow on for nearby streets.

• Moorhead Junction - Sheffield

  Created by Matt Turner 15 December, 2012 10:49 // 0 threads

  • design

  Any cyclist using this cycle lane is at risk from vehicles using the narrow main carriageway as they move into the cycle lane to make it around the corner.

  This junction is newly designed and was installed in Summer 2012.

• Tesco development Grafton Way/Star Lane/Greyfriars/Stoke bridge/Nicholas Street

  Created by Kevin Ablitt 13 December, 2012 17:40 // 1 thread

  • design

  Total re-design of this important junction.
  Very complicated junction with 4 routes entering/leaving .
  Covers very large area.
  Proposal is for one large oval to replace existing double roundabout.
  The junction has an existing reported and unreported high level of vehicle/cyclist crash.
  An ideal opportunity for Ipswich to have a radical design which protects the more vulnerable road users ?
  Please post your opinion here.

• Roundabout design

  Created by Kevin Ablitt 13 December, 2012 08:14 // 0 threads

  • design

  The straight through route at this roundabout seems to encourage people to assume priority and go against roundabout rules. This makes the r'bout particularly difficult for cyclists to negotiate safely.
  This crash was luckily a minor one- http://www.eadt.co.uk/news/update_road_clear_after_collision_between_car_and_cyclist_in_ipswich_1_1738795

• Elmers End junction

  Created by Shaun McDonald 04 December, 2011 16:39 // 1 thread

  • design

  This junction can be dangerous for cyclists due to narrow pinch points, and drivers being too eager to jump past them, and are happy to frighten cyclists by honking their horns due to them "being in the way", when they are just taking the primary position so that they don't get knocked off their bike.
