Proposed Raised Zebra Crossing and Traffic Calming Measures in Benner Lane, West End, and Proposed 20MPH Speed Limit in Various Roads in West End

Overview

Thank you for your interest in our traffic calming and speed limit proposals in West End. 

The legislation we must follow before introducing this scheme means that we need to allow objections and comments from the public to be considered before a final decision is reached about whether or not to go ahead with our preferred scheme in its current form.

The proposal:

Concerns have previously been raised by the school, residents and parents about vehicle speeds, difficulties crossing the road and about road safety in Benner Lane near the Holy Trinty school. In response to these concerns, a school safety scheme consisting of the following measures has been proposed.

• Traffic calming measures (speed cushions) between Jenner Drive and Streets Heath.

• Zebra crossing on a raised road table outside the school

• Introduction of a 20mph speed limit in Benner Lane (between Jenner Drive and Streets Heath) and in some other surrounding roads in the area (where speeds are already sufficiently low to allow a 20mph speed limit to be introduced using signing alone).

The proposed measures will help make it safer and easier for parents and children to walk, cycle and scoot to school. Encouraging and supporting an increase in these sustainable modes of transport will contribute towards a reduction in car journeys and congestion.
