Broom Lane
All existing side roads off Broom Lane are currently part of a 20mph zone. This proposed scheme seeks to extend the 20mph zone to include Broom Lane, with a range of traffic calming features and improved crossing facilities.
Proposed measures include:
- 20MPH zone signs and road markings on red surfacing at top and bottom ends of Broom Lane (i.e. junctions with Barlow Road and Stockport Road.
- A 6m long full width, flat top hump south of the junction with Tonbridge Road.
- Footway on west side of Broom Lane to be widened to 1.8m from the junction with Stockport Road to the junction with Cronshaw Street.
- A raised table and controlled crossing points at the junction of Broom Lane with Watts Street.
- Textured paving at all new and upgraded crossings.
- Flat top hump crossing points at the junctions of Bowler Street, Cronshaw Street, Tonbridge Road, Elmsworth Avenue, Marley Road, Thorncliffe Grove, Curtis Road.
- A built out 'chicane' on the eastern side of Broom Lane just north of the junction with Tonbridge Road, reducing the carriageway to one lane, with vehicles travelling south giving way to vehicles travelling north.
- A raised table and controlled crossing points at the junction of Watts Street and Broom Lane.
- Upgrading the existing pelican crossing south of the junction of Broom Lane with Broom Avenue to a raised puffin crossing. NB location of new crossing still to be decided – may be slightly further north.
