Manor Road Highway Improvement

Overview

The Council is proposing some changes to the Manor Road area to improve road safety. The changes include measures such as safer pedestrian crossing points, 20mph speed limit, more trees and more benches in the area. The aim of the proposed changes is to make the area safer to travel around, improve air quality and get people more active. These changes align with Transport for London's Healthy Streets approach.

What we are proposing:

• Manor Road south of Danbury Mews - Proposed new zebra crossing to give pedestrians priority, slow speed of traffic, encourage walking and improve road safety.  This includes loss of parking within the zig zag markings at the proposed zebra crossing to ensure good visibility between pedestrian and driver. View the plan.

• Manor Road between Maldon Road and Alcester Road - Proposed footway widening to improve pedestrian safety and encourage walking. View the plan.
   
• Parkgate Road junction with Manor Road - Proposed enlargement of existing island to assist pedestrians crossing the junction, slow speed of traffic entering Parkgate Road, and improve road safety. View the plan.
   
• Manor Road near Parkgate Road - Proposed refuge island to assist pedestrians to cross and improve road safety. The proposed measure will result in loss of parking in the vicinity of the island. View the plan.
   
• Manor Road by Railway Approach - Narrow the crossing point at the existing signalised crossing to reduce crossing time and improve road safety. View the plan.
   
• Proposed 20mph speed limit in Manor Road. View the plan.

Healthy Streets 

These changes align with Transport for London's Healthy Streets approach. Most of the journeys that Londoners make - 80% - happen on our streets. The best way to get more people out walking, cycling and using public transport is to improve the quality of the experience of being on those streets.

The Healthy Streets Approach focuses on creating streets that are pleasant, safe and attractive, where noise, air pollution, accessibility and lack of seating and shelter are not barriers that prevent people - particularly our most vulnerable people - from getting out and about.
