  • Proposals:
    At the junction of Roehampton Lane/Roehampton High Street/Danebury Avenue:
  • Provide new low-level early release cycle signals on Danebury Avenue and Roehampton High Street
  • Move the existing pedestrian crossing of the southern arm of Roehampton Lane 5m closer to the junction entrance, to provide a more direct crossing point for pedestrians and make the junction operate more efficiently
  • Build out the kerb lines at the junctions of Danebury Avenue with Roehampton Lane, north and south arms, to encourage slower speeds for turning vehicles and reduce pedestrian crossing distances. At Roehampton Lane north the crossing distance would be reduced by approximately 2 metres, and at Danebury Avenue by approximately 5 metres
  • Increase the width of the pedestrian crossing areas at Danebury Avenue and Roehampton Lane south by approximately 0.5 metres
  • Provide a two-stage right turn facility from northbound Roehampton Lane onto Roehampton High Street, making it easier and safer to turn right. Instead of having to cross lanes of moving traffic and then wait in the centre of the junction, cyclists would be able to wait in the designated area and proceed with the green signal to complete their right turn in two stages.

  • Replace the existing cycle feeder lane on the junction approach of Danebury Avenue with another that is approximately 12 metres longer and 0.3 metres wider, to provide a safer space for cyclists
  • TfL would resurface the junction at the same time that these changes are carried out.

On Roehampton High Street:

  • Permit contraflow cycling westbound on Roehampton High Street between Treville Street and Roehampton Lane, to enable cyclists to avoid Medfield Street and Roehampton Lane. Contraflow road markings would be provided to highlight the presence of cyclists travelling westbound towards the junction
  • Provide a short section of segregated cycle lane westbound on Putney Heath, between its junctions with Dover House Road and Treville Street, to protect cyclists in this area
  • Provide new road markings to demarcate the parking area on the westbound side of Roehampton High Street

 

Depending on the results of the consultation, works could begin in summer 2017.

The consultation closes on December 9. To share your views, you can get in touch with TfL via the consultation website –
