The London Borough of Redbridge is proposing a traffic calming and road safety improvement scheme in the Prior Road area to create a safer, quieter and more attractive environment for residents, pedestrians and cyclists.
The preferred option under consultation involves the closure of Prior Road to motor vehicles at the point where the adopted public highway meets the existing private road. The closure would prevent all vehicular through movements at this location, while maintaining access for pedestrians and cyclists. This measure would effectively create a filtered connection between the public highway and the private road, allowing walking and cycling movements to continue whilst preventing traffic from using Prior Road as a through route.
The proposal aims to reduce traffic volumes, discourage rat-running, lower vehicle speeds and improve overall road safety within the area. By removing through traffic, the scheme is expected to create a more pleasant residential environment with reduced traffic-related noise and improved conditions for active travel.
The Council has undertaken preliminary assessments of the potential impacts on the surrounding road network and will continue to review traffic movements in neighbouring streets to ensure that any effects arising from the proposal are appropriately considered.
Implementation of the preferred option would require the introduction of the necessary Traffic Management Orders (TMOs) and completion of the associated statutory procedures. Before any decision is made, the Council is seeking the views of residents, businesses and road users to better understand local concerns, identify any potential issues and help refine the final scheme.
Feedback received through this consultation will be carefully considered alongside technical assessments, road safety objectives and wider transport considerations before a final decision is made on whether to proceed with the scheme.
