T12 Traffic Management

In localities or on routes where traffic volumes or perceived dangers significantly interfere with movement by pedestrians or cyclists, and /or damage the wider environment, the Council will consider the need for traffic management/calming measures in consultation with local residents and businesses, the emergency services, public transport operators and others requiring essential vehicular access.

Road layouts within new developments will need to be designed with appropriate traffic management measures to help limit vehicle speeds and improve safety for all road users. Care will be needed in the design of traffic management measures so that they are appropriate to their surroundings, particularly in Conservation Areas.
