Oakdene Road, Mill Lane and A3100 Old Portsmouth Road Safety and Active Travel Proposals

Overview

Overview

Thank you for your interest in our proposals along Oakdene Road, Mill Lane and A3100 Old Portsmouth Road.

These proposals form part of the Guildford to Godalming Greenway scheme. The scheme aims to deliver safer and more attractive walking, wheeling and cycling (active travel) infrastructure in the area.

Following an application to Active Travel England, Surrey County Council has secured funding to deliver a first phase of the Guildford to Godalming Greenway scheme. This includes these proposals along Oakdene Road, Mill Lane and A3100 Old Portsmouth Road. Further information about the Guildford to Godalming Greenway and the full phase 1 scope is available to view at: Guildford to Godalming Greenway - improvements to active travel infrastructure - Surrey County Council

The Proposals

The design proposals along Oakdene Road, Mill Lane and A3100 Old Portsmouth Road include the features listed below and shown in the plan also linked to below.

Plan – Oakdene Road, Mill Lane & A3100 Old Portsmouth Road (PDF)

• A 20mph speed limit is proposed along Oakdene Road and Mill Lane. This would also apply to James Road. For information about the benefits of 20mph schemes please see: The benefits of 20mph schemes - Surrey County Council
• At the junction of Broadford Road and Oakdene Road it is proposed to widen the eastern footway on Oakdene Road and install a raised table on Oakdene Road. This will provide an improved and safer connection for pedestrians and cyclists between Oakdene Road and the existing shared footway/cycleway along Broadford Road. Oakdene Road and Mill Lane would also be signed as an on-carriageway cycle route connecting two existing cycle routes along Broadford Road and A3100 Old Portsmouth Road.
•  At the side road junctions along Oakdene Road it is proposed to install dropped kerbs and tactile paving where currently absent to improve accessibility for pedestrians.
• It is proposed to widen the short length of shared footway/cycleway between Mill Lane and A3100 Old Portsmouth Road to provide more space for pedestrians and cyclists. Nearby it is also proposed to plant new trees and install benches.
• Safer crossings are proposed on the A3100. Signalised toucan crossings (for pedestrians and cyclists) are proposed to the north and south of the A3100/Astolat Way roundabout. On Astolat Way it is also proposed to widen the northern footway/cycleway and refuge island at the crossing point.
