Previous consultation revealed the following issues:
- There is often too much traffic for a residential street
- Vehicles go over the 20mph speed limit
This design proposes to:
- Restrict vehicle access to Orchard Road from Fawcett Road. People will still be able to drive into the road from Talbot Road to the east
- Keep walking and cycling access to Orchard Road from Fawcett Road
- Add a new turning space for vehicles. This will require removing four parking spaces. Note that it will not be possible to keep the road as two-way without the turning head
- Use road space in creative ways*
*This space could be used for greening, cycle storage, cycle parking or seating
