Colindeep Lane - Pedestrian Improvements (Initial Assessment) - Road Safety Audit PDF 294 KB Minutes: The Committee received the report.
During the course of this item the Committee discussed the issue of vertical speed deterrents – namely cushions and road humps . Members were of the mind that we should be very cautious not to allow a “slippery slope” where new cushions and road humps would gradually become a regular feature. The Council’s policy was clear on this - only in exceptional circumstances should they be allowed. The Committee was anxious to reiterate and not lose sight of this policy.
The following was unanimously agreed:
RESOLVED
1. That the Hendon Area Committee note the results of the Stage 1 Road Safety Audit carried out on proposals presented at the 24 July 2017 Hendon Area Committee meeting, as follows: Measure 1 – Improve signage Measure 2 – Remove excess vegetation Measure 3 - Reduce dual carriageway section to one lane in each direction Measure 4 - Traffic islands/ refuges Measure 5 - Changes to junction of Colindeep Lane with Colin Crescent Measure 6a - Vertical speed deterrents (cushions) Measure 7 - High friction coloured surface Measure 8b – Refresh and improve road markings And on proposals approved for implementation by said committee at the 24 July 2017 meeting, as follows: Measure 1 – Improve signage Measure 2 – Remove excess vegetation Measure 3 - Reduce dual carriageway section to one lane in each direction Measure 4 - Traffic islands/ refuges Measure 5 - Changes to junction of Colindeep Lane with Colin Crescent Measure 7 - High friction coloured surface Measure 8b – Refresh and improve road markings
2. That the Hendon Area Committee adopts vertical speed deterrents, by way of cushions, (Measure 6a from the 24 July 2017 Hendon Area Committee Meeting) in addition to the measures referred to in Recommendation 1;
3. That the Hendon Area Committee, gives instruction to the Strategic Director for Environment to carry out a statutory consultation on the approved measures.
4. That subject to no objections being received to the statutory consultation on proposals approved, the Hendon Area Committee instruct Strategic Director for Environment to introduce the approved measures.
5. If any objections are received as a result of the statutory consultations, the Hendon Area Committee directs that the Strategic Director for Environment consider and determine whether the approved measures should be implemented or not, and if so, with or without modification.
6. That the Hendon Area Committee note that the scheme is funded by the Local Implementation Plan (LIP) 17/18 funding to design and carry out statutory consultation and, subject to the outcome of that consultation, introduce the approved Scheme.
