The Council is proposing to introduce road safety improvements on Uplands Road.
We are proposing to install traffic calming in the form of speed humps on Uplands Road as shown on the attached plan. We are intending to install approximately 80mm (3.5 inch) high speed humps on this road with a shallow initial rise which is more beneficial for cyclists. The proposals also include the extension of double yellow lines opposite the at the junction of Gaynes Hill Road to improve lane discipline around the bend.
The Metropolitan Police, London Fire Brigade, London Ambulance Services and Transport for London are being consulted on the proposals.
Why make changes?
The main objective of the proposed scheme is to make this area safer for all road users. The road safety measures will help reduce vehicular speeds, improve driver awareness, improve crossing conditions for pedestrians and improve road safety in the area.
Lowering traffic speeds also makes our streets less polluted, and better and safer places to walk and cycle.
Traffic surveys undertaken on Uplands Road have demonstrated that vehicle speeds are often in excess of the speed limit. There has been 1 personal injury collision in the last three years for which data is available on Uplands Road.
