Transport for London (TfL),
together with Lambeth
Council, would like to know
your views on proposals to
transform the road network
and public environment
at the A23 Streatham Hill,
between Sternhold Avenue
and Holmewood Road.
Full information on the
proposals are available
on our website at tfl.gov.
uk/streatham-hill and the
consultation is open for
comment until Sunday 22
March 2020.
the proposed scheme will
make it easier, safer and more
pleasant for people to cycle
and walk and would provide
benefi ts for all street users in
the area. Our proposals are an
important part of the mayor of
London's transport strategy,
are guided by our healthy
streets approach, and are an
important part of our Walking
and Cycling action Plans. they
also directly contribute to
our Vision Zero target to stop
people from dying and being
seriously injured on London’s
road network by 2041.
We have worked with local
stakeholders and communities
in the area to develop
proposals which provide
benefi ts for all street users in
the area and are proposing
a number of features along
the route to make it safer and
more pleasant for people who
cycle and walk, whilst keeping
buses running on time.
to complement this scheme,
we have been working
with Lambeth Council to
investigate creating a low
traffi c neighbourhood in the
residential areas to the east
of the a23. this will protect
local streets from being used
by through traffi c. Further
details will be available to view
and comment on from the 22
February when the webpage
bit.ly/streathamhillLtN goes
live.
the scheme includes some
signifi cant changes and
various small changes to the
street layouts such as:
• High quality segregated
cycle lanes throughout
the extents of the scheme
to improve safety and
encourage more to cycle
• Straight-across pedestrian
crossings relocated to
where people want to
walk and cross the road,
including 2 new pedestrian
crossings and zebra
crossings to cross the
cycle lane to signalised
pedestrian crossings across
the main carriageway
• Bus lanes maintained
or implemented, and
operational hours extended
to between 7am-7pm
monday to saturday
throughout the scheme
• 20mph speed limit to
improve safety for those
who walk or cycle, and to
reduce traffi c dominance in
the area
• Relocation of some bus
stops and the introduction
of bus stop bypasses
• Changes to side road
access including
restrictions and closures,
redesign and resurfacing.
this is to assist in both the
relocation of the pedestrian
crossings and to reduce
confl ict between those
cycling and vehicles turning
