People are being invited to have their say on proposals for speed humps, a pedestrian crossing and new waiting restrictions in the Bathwick area.
The measures are part of the Bath Walking, Wheeling and Cycling project for the route between the Kennet & Avon Canal and Great Pulteney Street via Sydney Place.
Bath & North East Somerset Council’s project aims to “rebalance” how road space is used across the city by prioritising active modes of transport to reduce congestion and improve air quality.
This section is one of four schemes in the city that will add more than 6.2 km of new cycling routes across Bath through advisory lanes, dedicated spaces, and quiet routes.
The council says it will also provide significant walking and wheeling improvements, such as crossings and more convenient and safer options, therefore increasing travel choices and greater connectivity in and out of the city centre.
At Beckford Road, a signal-controlled toucan pedestrian crossing is proposed approximately 68 metres from the junction with Sydney Road.
There are plans to install raised table speed humps at the William Street junction with Great Pulteney Street and the Edward Street junction with Great Pulteney Street.
And at William Street, the council plans to bring in no waiting at any time restrictions and to reduce the length of existing permit holder-only bays east and west from the junction with Great Pulteney Street by eight metres.
Any comments on the proposed traffic regulation orders should be sent to the council’s traffic management team by 7th May.
