Consultation on traffic measures for buses, cyclists and pedestrians

The County Council is currently holding a consultation on a set of proposals aimed at improving the Woodstock Road for buses, cyclists and pedestrians. The work involves:

1. A new Zebra crossing (for use by pedestrians only) – to be located approximately 20 metres south of the junction with Bevington Road.
2. Side Road Entry Treatments (SRETs) – comprising of raised table traffic calming features, with ramp gradients of no greater than 1:15, to be located at the following junctions: South Parade, St Margaret’s Road (east), St Margaret’s Road (west), Farndon Road, Canterbury Road, Leckford Road, Plantation Road, Bevington Road, St Bernard's Road, Observatory Street, and Little Clarendon Street.
3. Segregated off-road cycle/pedestrian path – (making use of existing footway space) to be located on the west side from its junction with Frenchay Road, southwards to its junction with St Margarets Road (west).
4. Bus stop clearway (which will prevent parking except for buses at all times) - to be located within the existing bus stop, approx. 25 metres south of its junction with Little Clarendon Street.
5. Alteration of bus lane at the north end of Woodstock Road (to ease congestion for those leaving the city due to the bus filter implementation) - The current southbound bus lane will be removed and a northbound one will replace it. This will only affect the very northern section of the Woodstock Road (down to Squitchey Lane) and will also necessitate the removal of a bus stop on the southbound side.
