Mini Holland •
Section 5: Shernhall Street to Wood Street
The current situation on this link includes:
• ‘One lane in each direction
• ‘Advisory cycle lane in each direction
• ‘Mainly commercial/retail frontages
• ‘Similar waiting and loading restrictions as in link 2
• ‘Over three year period – 7 collisions 2 involving cyclists (1
involving pedestrian – 3 in darkness)
Our proposals are:
• ‘2.0-metre semi-segregated cycle lanes in both directions
• ‘Raised level cycle lanes at bus stops and Zebra crossings
with pedestrian priority
• ‘entry treatments at side roads
• ‘reviewing waiting and loading restrictions
• ‘removing central hatching in carriageway and right-turn
pockets; centre lines to be installed only at approach to
junctions
• ‘Advanced cycle stop lines on all arms
• ‘Over three year period – 14 collisions 0 involving cyclists (2
involving pedestrians – 4 in darkness)
Our proposals are:
• ‘pre-cycle signals on all arms
• ‘all green phase for cyclists subject to junction modelling
• ‘two-stage right-turns if all green not implemented
• ‘low-level signal heads for cyclists once DfT approval
granted
Benefits include improved safety for cyclists and pedestrians,
reduced traffic speeds through the junction. Risks include
additional delays and congestion on all arms and increase in
delays to buses.

This will improve cycle facilities generally and reduce delays
to traffic especially off-peak. Risks include restriction on
servicing frontages.
Junction 5 – Wood Street/Fulbourne Road Junction
The current situation on this node includes:
• ‘Traffic signalled cross-roads – 3 stages including
pedestrian stage
• ‘Sub-standard staggered pedestrian facilities on both arms
of Forest Road
• ‘Two lanes on all approaches except Wood Street (only 1 lane)
