Brunswick Park Road and Church Hill Road, 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 Brunswick Park Road, Church Hill Road and the surrounding area.
We have carried out a feasibility study for this area (including collisions, speed, traffic, origin-destination and pedestrian surveys, site investigations and review of junction layouts). Based on the results of the study, proposals were presented and discussed with ward councillors, and it was agreed to proceed with the proposals that involve the least disturbance for residents.
What we are proposing
We are proposing to introduce the following key traffic safety improvement proposals:
- Introducing a 20mph speed limit along Church Hill Road and Brunswick Park Road, from the junction with East Barnet Road in the north to the junction with Waterfall Road in the south.
- Introducing a new uncontrolled crossing one Church Hill Road, close to Rushdene Avenue, making a safer crossing place for pedestrians close to Oak Hill Park.
- Upgrading the existing zebra crossing on Church Hill Road, outside Church Hill School, to a zebra crossing on top of a raised table to improve safety for pedestrians.
- Upgrading the existing zebra crossing on Brunswick Park Road, between Osidge Lane and junction with Prevost Road, to a zebra crossing atop a raised table to improve safety for pedestrians.
- Upgrading the existing zebra crossing on Osidge Lane, near Brunswick Park Road mini-roundabout, to a zebra crossing atop a raised table to improve safety for pedestrians.
- Upgrading the existing zebra crossing on Brunswick Park Road, near junction with Benfleet Way, to a zebra crossing on top of a raised table to improve safety for pedestrians.
- Introducing speeds cushions along Brunswick Park Road and Church Hill Road that act as a complementary measure to ensure a low-speed environment, as detailed in the enclosed drawing.
- Enhancing the mouths of junctions by tightening the radius of the kerb and introducing tactile paving, improving safety for pedestrians, as detailed in the enclosed drawing.
- Introducing a southwest bound one-way system along Spencer Road with the aim of restricting rat-running.
- Incorporating ‘Double Yellow Lines’ around junctions as detailed in the enclosed drawing to improve visibility for pedestrians and motorists.
