Phase A: Redcliff Mead Lane proposals

    • New implied zebra crossing across Somerset Street, marked with black and white stripes but no lights
    • New pedestrian crossing to the east of the junction
  • Creating a raised crossing point at the junction with Temple Gate to help slow vehicle speeds and give pedestrians priority when crossing the road
  • Installing 20mph road marking signs to help remind drivers of the speed limit
  • Installing four speed cushions to help slow vehicle speeds
  • Creating a ‘chicane’ effect to help slow down vehicle speeds, achieved by:
    • Relocating some existing parking bays from the north side to the south side of the road
