Seeking agreement on the introduction of a one way system on the north side of Bishopsmead Parade, East Horsley.

 

Additional documents:

Decision:

Guildford Joint Committee:

 

(i)            AGREED the introduction of a one-way system on the north section of Bishopsmead Parade, East Horsley, in a southerly direction.

 

(ii)           AGREED to promote a traffic regulation order for the introduction of a one-way system on the north section of Bishopsmead Parade, as shown on the plan below.

 

Reasons for recommendations:

Currently, drivers can access Bishopsmead Parade from the three existing entries and exits. Due to the slight bend in Ockham Road South and boundary vegetation, visibility is poor for motorists exiting Bishopsmead Parade at the north section. This creates a hazard for motorists at this location and may result in future incidents.
