Rapid Deployment Pedestrian Scheme 2024 - Northwest LEA

Works Extent

Construction work has been completed on the Rapid Deployment Pedestrian Scheme Northwest.

Objectives

This project aims to provide:

  • Improved facilities for pedestrians to provide more attractive infrastructure to help promote active travel;
  • Enhanced accessibility for pedestrians to local services, places of work and bus stops by delivering dished paths with tactile paving and new paths on desire lines creating more direct routes;
  • Reduction in road widths to be traversed by pedestrians and provision of safer pedestrian uncontrolled crossings;
  • New public lighting designed to enhance inter-visibility between drivers and pedestrians at crossing points, and along new paths.
