Consultation has concluded
As part of a commitment to improving road safety and promoting walking and cycling, RBWM is introducing measures on Springfield Road in Windsor slow down vehicles and make the area pedestrian friendly.
The measures include:
The introduction of a 20mph speed limit for the residential area bounded by Imperial Road to the west, Goslar Way to the north and St Leonards Road to the east and south.
Introduction of a raised flat topped road hump treatment at each entry of the road
CONSULTATION RESULTS
The consultation period for the installation of flat-topped road tables and a 20mph speed limit in the Springfield Road area, Windsor has now closed. The results indicate that for the 20mph speed limit, 66% are in favour, 31% are against and 3% don’t know. For the raised flat topped road tables, 51% are in favour, 46% are against and 3% don’t know.
The Borough, with the support of local Ward Councillors, therefore, proposes to install both the speed tables and the 20mph speed limit.
WHAT EXACTLY IS BEING IMPLEMENTED
Flat-topped road table: This is a 3.0m raised platform with a 1.5m ramp to be constructed at height of 75mm above existing carriageway. The five tables will be located at the entry and exit points of Springfield Road as well as the entry point into Springfield Road from Bulkeley Avenue, Peel Close and Green Lane. The footway at either side of the table will be adjusted to ensure a smooth crossing point is created.
The proposed road tables should not be confused with ‘speed bumps’ as the flat-topped road tables offer a greater vehicle tolerance and enhancement of the pedestrian environment. It is designed with consideration for vehicle occupants who may otherwise be affected by the physical discomfort that may arise from going over a hump or damage to vehicles suspension as well as mitigate noise pollution. The flat-topped table features a smooth initial rise and smooth return to the road surface which will also ensure there is less delay for bus operators and the emergency services. The road table will also feature tactile paving at each edge of the carriageway which will serve as an informal crossing point for the different types of pedestrians including the visually impaired and less mobile.
20mph Speed Limit: The introduction of a 20mph speed limit will be implemented to make it safer for pedestrians, especially children and those with reduced mobility, as well as cyclists. There will be additional signage placed to remind drivers of the reduced speed limit.
