This consultation has now concluded.

Following the informal consultation on the 'Quickways' & 'Quietway' cycle routes that was carried out during September and October (click here for details) we are now formally asking for your views on the proposals and the associated measures to implement these, which include:

  • proposed vehicle waiting restrictions (including removal of existing parking bays and unrestricted parking),
  • 20mph speed limits,
  • timed or permanent parking restricted areas (also known as ‘clearways’),
  • Zebra crossings, and
  • mandatory cycle lanes.


These proposals are being introduced to help improve accessibility, air quality, health and well-being, road safety, and to support the delivery of wider transport initiatives across the city. They are also in accordance with the county and city councils` policies on traffic management, and cycling and walking infrastructure. The aim of these policies is to manage transport and development, and to increase safety for cyclists and other road users. The proposed measures will apply to the following roads:

The County Council will review the responses and if necessary (i.e. if objections are received) prepare a report to be presented to the Cabinet Member for Highway Management at a meeting scheduled for 27th January 2022.
