Allington Road and surrounding area road safety consultation

Overview

We are looking to introduce a number of new road safety measures that will reduce the speed of vehicles and also aim to address concerns raised by residents in Allington Road, NW4 and the surrounding area.

We have already carried out a feasibility study for this area (including collisions, speed, traffic, origin-destination and site investigations, review of junction layouts):
