What are we proposing?
We are proposing to create a safer environment for local residents as well as for those that want to walk or cycle by introducing a 20mph speed limit and installing cycle friendly speed humps as well as raised junction points to slow down traffic.
The improvements are outlined in the table below:
Road Name
Improvement
Balfour Road
Conversion of advisory cycle lane to mandatory and relocate taxi bay to accommodate extended cycle lane
Adelaide Road
Installation of new cycle friendly speed humps
Wellesley Road
Installation of new cycle friendly speed humps
Brisbane Road
Conversation of speed cushions to cycle friendly humps
Coventry Road
Conversion of advisory cycle lane to mandatory and install flat top hump
Quebec Road
Installation of new cycle friendly speed humps
Perth Road
Installation of new cycle friendly speed humps and raised junction points at Middlefield Gardens and reduce to 20mph.
Lonsdale Crescent
Installation of raised junction points at Perth Road
Any existing 20mph speed limits will remain and will be reinforced with the additional measures listed per road.
The Metropolitan Police, London Fire Brigade, London Ambulance Services and Transport for London are being consulted on the proposals.
Why make the changes?
The proposed measures will improve road safety and reduce the speed of cars. This will create a safer environment for driving, cycling and walking.
Speed is factor in 37% of all incidents where a person is killed or seriously injured in London, and being hit by a vehicle at 30mph is five times more likely to kill you then if you are hit at 20mph. Therefore, looking to reduce speed whilst also implementing these road safety measures will reduce the likelihood of incidents in this area.
The cycle quietway will add to the wider borough cycle network connecting to cycle routes such as the C16 to Stratford or Barkingside, and connecting to other proposed routes to Redbridge.
What happens next?
The consultation starts on 4 December 2023 is due to last for 3 weeks. The last point you will be able to submit a response online is the 13 January 2024 23:59. The Council will then collate all the responses and decide on making any adjustments to the scheme. The Council aims for construction to begin in early 2024, further letters will be sent out to notify you of the outcome of this consultation.
