Decision details

The Local Committee agreed that

(i)      The proposals to provide raised road tables at the signalised crossing points across Onslow Street at the junction with Bridge Street, described within this report as Option B, proceeds to implementation. This will be funded from central county council budgets separate from the budget allocated to the local committee for highway improvements.

(ii)      A traffic regulation order to implement the raised road tables will be advertised and authority delegated to the Area Highways Manager in consultation with the Chairman, Vice-Chairman and Divisional Members for Guildford South West and Guildford South East to consider any objections before proceeding.

Reasons: Analysis has highlighted a pattern of pedestrian casualties at the junction of Bridge Street with Onslow Street in Guildford. The proposals presented here will help to reduce the risk of further pedestrian collisions and will improve the facilities for pedestrians when crossing the road at this important link between the railway station and town centre.
