Revised Option 5
- Following on from the initial design options the
preferred option has been developed further
- Improving Ingram’s Well Lane provides a right
turn from Great Eastern Road to Newton Road
- This simplifies the junction / roundabout option
further
- This would provide a easier crossing for cyclists
and pedestrians and be less detrimental to traffic capacity

Route for Right Turn traffic
SLIDE 8
Ingram’s Well Lane
- Ingram’s Well Lane would be signalised at the
junction with Newton Road to enable traffic to turn right
- This would also include Chelsea Road as a
staggered crossroad
- It would be one way northbound
- Some parking would be permitted
- Footway enhanced at north end

Next Steps
- We have had initial discussions with the traffic
modelling specialists
- They are proposing an iterative approach to
refining the geometry in parallel with the traffic impact assessment
- This stage will take 2-3 months
- They are going to concentrate on the 5b
- ption initially as this is likely to be the most
deliverable

Shared Space Approach
- Not one approach
- Jan Gehl – shared surface with no delineation
- Ben Hamilton-Baillie - shared carriageway with
separate pedestrian areas.
SLIDE 12
Key Factors
- Low Speeds – typically less than 20mph
- Gateways ahead of area to introduce drivers
to the shared space
- High level of pedestrian and cycle movements
- Easy to understand for all users

Considerations
- Treatment on approach
- Two different styles
- Speeds in area
- Impact – congestion
- Cyclists
SLIDE 19
Data Comparison
- Traffic flows
– Poynton = 27,000 – Shoreditch = 4,800 (48% cycle)
- Scheme Cost
– Poynton £3M – Shoreditch £500K
