URBAN TRANSPORT PLAN - Hertfordshire County Council

7.4 OTHER SCHEMES
7.4.1 It is also noted that the following schemes could be implemented irrespective of the
Byde Street closure or technological option moving forward or not.
Improvements to parking across Bengeo on key junctions and near schools (Pro-forma
CPK3), albeit it is noted that often parking acts as a natural traffic calming and may
reduce the attractiveness of the through route;
Old Cross Junction Improvements to retain signalised junction and provide shared surface
(minimal kerb upstand) to encourage pedestrian crossing/movement, slow traffic and
follow DfT Mixed Priority route treatment to make part of extended town centre with links
to Sainsbury’s (Pro-forma PED25); and
Pedestrian and cycle improvements across Bengeo (including Pro-forma CPM18 and
PED25).
7.5 NEXT STEPS
7.5.1 Following the recommendations in this report as part of the Hertford and Ware Urban
Transport Plan, the next steps are to undertake pre-Sainsbury’s monitoring. This will be
undertaken once the UTP is endorsed by members in advance of Winter 2011 when
Sainsbury’s is due to open.
7.5.2 During this time further investigation will be undertaken into using ANPR technology
rather than fixed types of closure.
7.5.3 Only once the post-Sainsbury’s traffic situation is known will a decision be made on a
way forward.
