To provide an improved, safer cycling environment in<br />
the borough. This includes removal of barriers to<br />
cycling, such as one-way streets and "No Entry" points<br />
to allow cycling on less trafficked roads (approx 8<br />
sites, £100,000). This also includes improving<br />
infrastructure by providing enhancements such as<br />
Advanced Stop Lines (ASLs), cycle lanes/tracks, cycle<br />
logo on-street markings and signage where<br />
appropriate (approx 11 sites, £220,000).<br />
The <strong>Council</strong> aims to increase cycling, and to do so,<br />
must address the range of barriers faced by<br />
cyclists and those who wish to cycle. Costeffective<br />
investment will target funding at specific<br />
barriers and will ensure that there is a reduction in<br />
casualties despite any increase in cycling.<br />
<strong>Finsbury</strong> <strong>Park</strong> <strong>ward</strong> speed management<br />
Category: Transport and streetscape<br />
Sub-category: Road safety<br />
Priority: 3 - Low<br />
Approx cost: £20,000<br />
Funds secured: £0<br />
To implement measures to address any speeding<br />
issues that may be occuring following the<br />
implementation of the borough wide 20mph speed limit<br />
scheme. Possible measures include new vehicle<br />
activated signs, visual road narrowings, additional<br />
20mph road markings and resident community<br />
enforcement programmes.<br />
A figure of £20K is proposed for each <strong>ward</strong> to be<br />
allocated to roads as highlighted in the surveys being<br />
undertaken to identify the most at risk locations.<br />
The recently introduced 20mph limit will be most<br />
effective if any areas of non-compliance are<br />
highlighted and remedial measures undertaken. As<br />
part of the review of the borough 20mph limit<br />
scheme speed surveys are being undertaken postimplementation<br />
to establish which roads have<br />
speed limits which are not complying with the new<br />
limit and identify measures to improve this.<br />
