Traffic Calming For Wood End

Coventry City Council’s Environment and Transportation Policy Team have given the go ahead to two lots of traffic calming – one in Wood End, one in Stoke Aldermoor.

Paid for out of Single Regeneration Budget money the work will include two road humps on both Woodway Walk and Woodway Close in Wood End and three road humps on The Lindfield in Stoke Aldermoor.

Councillor John McNicholas, Chair of the Environment and Transportation Policy Team said,

"Local residents have played a central role in deciding the best way of making their community safer and I am delighted that some of their suggestions are about to become a reality. The traffic calming in both areas will slow down drivers and make the roads safer for pedestrians, especially children and older people who tend to be more vulnerable."

The work which will cost £6,000 in Wood End and £5,000 in Stoke Aldermoor is set to be completed this year.

 

NOTES

Traffic calming in The Lindfield was left out of the wider traffic calming scheme which was installed in Stoke Aldermoor in 1990 because it was identified as an important route for West Midlands Fire Service. A review of their routes across the city has taken The Lindfield off the ‘srategically important roads’ list and the fire service are now happy for traffic calming to go ahead.

Speed Kills

At 40mph – 9 out of 10 pedestrians are killed

At 30 mph – 5 out of 10 pedestrians are killed

At 20 mph – 1 pedestrian is killed but 9 survive.
