Traffic calming measures for Tuffley Avenue

The traffic calming measures for Tuffley Avenue that have been previously proposed are now advertised publicly. There are notices and posters on the route with details of how to make any comment you would like to make.

All of the details can be found on the county council website at www.gloucestershire.gov.uk/tros – look in the Gloucester section. The details can also be found at www.gloucester.gov.uk.

The officer managing this project has let councillors and respondents to the previous consolation call-outs that “there has been an amendment made to the original proposal, which is to remove the proposed traffic island at the top of Tuffley Avenue, as this would conflict with school bus movements and introduce two pairs of speed cushions instead between Calton Road and Stroud Road.

We reviewed the up to date collision data which showed an ongoing issue in this section and a design review showed that the most suitable options for reducing loss of control collisions and in keeping with the rest of the scheme were two additional pairs of speed cushions to ensure a consistent approach.’’

Residents can make comments as above or send directly to me, Sebastian.Field@gloucester.gov.uk, or to David Wilson, david.wilson@gloucestershire.gov.uk.
