What impact will the construction of the cycleway have on junctions, and will this cause more congestion?
Will the completed scheme have a negative impact on traffic signalised junctions?
Our response...
The scheme has been designed in accordance with the requirements of the Department for Transport (DfT) to fully reflect the principals of cycle design standards (LTN 1/20). In doing so, safer, segregated, straight controlled crossings have been introduced on many arms of traffic signal junctions. To accommodate these improvements, in some cases there will be an impact on the operating capacity of the junction. These impacts have been minimised as much as possible, with priority provided to the B4063 to accommodate bus routes.
Following the comments received at consultation we have made changes to the design in this location, retaining the existing slip road at Old Cheltenham Road to reduce impact on the junction capacity.
