Statutory ConsultationProposed Traffic calming measures along Westbury Avenue andBoreham Road N22.

Dear Resident or Trader

As part of our Local Safety Schemes programme we are proposing to install trafficcalming measures along Westbury Avenue and Boreham Road, to improve safety forall road users.

Our ProposalsThe proposals are shown on the plan (pages 4 - 5) and consist of the followingmeasures:

11.. Raised entry treatments at thejunctions of the following side roadsadjoining Westbury Avenue: LakefieldRoad, Hawke Park Road, RusperRoad, Crawley Road and Mark Road.

• An entry treatment is a raisedplatform with graded approachand departure ramps built across a side road where itmeets a main road. These raisedplatforms would encouragevehicles to enter and leaveWestbury Avenue at a lowerspeed; they would also provide a safer and more convenientlevelled crossing point forpedestrians.

22.. Footway build-out with a centralrefuge island in Willingdon Road at itsjunction with Westbury Avenue,together with a pedestrian crossingpoint and tactile paving.

• This feature encourages speedreduction by reducing the widthof available road space forvehicles, while still beingsuitable for two way traffic. Thiswould also improve visibility forall road users and improvesafety for pedestrians crossingthe road.

33.. Pedestrian refuge islands withilluminated “keep left” bollards, anddouble yellow lines at five locations as shown on the plan.

• A pedestrian refuge island isbuilt in the central part of acarriageway with drop kerbs on either side of the footwayproviding a safer crossing point for pedestrians. Thisfeature also restricts road width and encourages motorists to reduce speed.
