Rose Street - new traffic management proposal

In response to residents’ concerns over pedestrian crossing safety and violation of the vehicle width restriction in Rose Street we are proposing to introduce a traffic management scheme near its junction with Broad Street.

The existing traffic island which reduces the width of the carriageway will be removed and replaced with kerb extensions on both sides of the road to reduce the crossing distance and impose a priority control. 

The vehicle width limit will be retained for safety reasons and the crossing point will be raised to footway level to control vehicle speeds and assist pedestrian crossing.

Please see attached document for full details of the proposed works.
