53. WIDE EDGE OF URBAN
Characteristics
Vehicle movement has been
prioritised and often a severance
issue
Demand for ped/cycle movement to
access local facilities
Highway/Engineered character
Lacking in amenity space but
include grass verges and tree
planting
Considered as gateways into
towns/centres
May contain bus lanes, on street
parking and right hand turn pockets
Mixed land use but generally high
density
54. WIDE EDGE OF URBAN – PROPOSED
Guiding Principles
Reduced carriageway width to
6.5m
Extended footway width
Remove central painted median
Remove/relocated on-street parking
Segregated stepped cycleway (2m
wide) either side (or cycle lanes for
continuity)
Remove bus lay-bys (replace with
boarders as on QBCs)
Integrate pedestrian crossings
where required
Speed limit 30 mph – designed
speed limit less

60. TAKEAWAYS: FINDINGS
Streets are critical to clean
inclusive growth
Design streets for people
Rethink how we measure
success
Buses are part of the solution
Future-proof designs
61. TAKEAWAYS: PROCESS
Understand identity &
distinctiveness
Find local champions
Stakeholder knowledge key
Engage early & often
Avoid Tribalisation
Agree a vision & measures of
success
Be bold!
