This consultation is now closed - thank you for your feedback.
We secured funding from Transport for London to deliver a project along the A310 Twickenham Road, in order to improve the road environment for all users.
The proposals for the junctions of South Street and St John’s Road are briefly outlined below. Further information is contained in the Twickenham Road Exhibition document, available on this page under documents for download.
A public display of the proposals was held at Isleworth leisure centre and library from 22 to 29 November during its normal opening hours.
South Street junction
The results of traffic modelling show that the removal of the traffic signals and the introduction of a mini-roundabout at the junction of Twickenham Road with South Street, will reduce traffic congestion through the area.
A mini-roundabout would also free up some of the road space which can then be used for much needed pavement widening and for wider cycle lanes on both sides of the road.
The provision of a raised junction table would reduce traffic speeds through the mini-roundabout junction. An alternative surfacing material will be considered to further highlight the junction and encourage lower speeds.
The existing pedestrian refuge island would be retained as an informal pedestrian crossing point close to the junction whilst a new zebra crossing would be provided in South Street.
St John’s Road junction
The results of traffic modelling show that, given the physical constraints at the St John’s Road junction, a mini-roundabout is the optimum form of junction control and therefore should be retained.
It is proposed that the junction should be traffic calmed by providing a raised junction table, providing a safer environment for all road users and in particular for pedestrians and cyclists.
The pedestrian refuge islands would be reconstructed without the double height kerbs.
Pedestrians will be able to cross between pavements on a level surface. The traffic island adjacent to North Street would be reconstructed and provide a new informal crossing point for pedestrians.
The removal of redundant and unnecessary street furniture will further improve the look and feel of the area.
What happen's next?
The proposals and your responses will be considered by your ward councillors. If approved, the proposals are likely to be implemented in spring and autumn 2012.
