viaduct To address concerns over speeding and possible mist over the rivers Road safety on the viaduct Table 5 (Cont): Suggestions for change Suggestions for change Reason given Please ensure either side of the road has thousands of trees planted. To improve the environment and reduce noise I would like to see a reduced speed limit through Sturry village as well as a restriction in regards to what vehicles can come through the village (No HGVs) (none given – but assume on road safety grounds) Provide an additional pedestrian refuge where the new road ties into the A291 south of the proposed roundabout. To maintain continuity and safety for this walking route Consider moving cycleway to the north side of the Link Road Too many junctions on the south side will impact cyclists Set-back bus stops into laybys So that people can get on/off without holding up arterial traffic Viaduct needs to be two lanes in either direction, and it also needs to be lit perhaps by parapet lighting (None given – but assume for capacity and safety for pedestrians and cyclists) Improve access to land (field) off A28 on east approach to new roundabout To safely accommodate frequent events on site such as boot-fairs/circuses and also agricultural requirements A28/A291 Option 2 to incorporate provisions to permit ambulances to turn right into Island Road from south of Rail crossing To not unduly delay emergency services Provide access to proposed new station car park direct from new A28/A291 junction Improved mobility for pedestrian access Suggestions for change Reason given Consider relocation of the attenuation pond at the new A28 roundabout to the east side To minimise the impact on land take Consider a path on the north side of the link to Shalloak Road To provide direct access to proposed allotments and leisure space north of the road. Provide dedicated left turn lanes at all the roundabouts for the main stream flows To ease traffic flow at the junctions Provide some form of horizontal separation between the footway and bus lane on the viaduct To better protect cyclists from draught caused by passing traffic Consider blocking local roads to encourage reassignment of through traffic. Improve local roads and encourage walking and cycling Provide additional signal controlled pedestrian crossing points Pedestrian safety due to high traffic flow Provide bus lanes on both sides of the Link Road Improved public transport provisions KCC and Network Rail to enter into discussions regarding possible rail infrastructure changes To reduce the time the level crossing is in operation Provide private means of access from A28 roundabout To provide safer access
