Sellons Ave & Crownhill Rd Road Safety Scheme
We are proposing two key changes to the road layout on Crownhill Road and Sellons Avenue:
Introduce ‘no waiting, no loading at any time’ restrictions at the junction of the east end of Crownhill Road and Sellons Avenue, to improve visibility and reduce unsafe stopping and parking at this busy junction (See attached drawing).
Convert Sellons Avenue into a one-way street (northbound) from the junction with Springwell Avenue to Drayton Road. As part of this change, existing footway parking will be relocated into the carriageway to create more space for pedestrians and prevent vehicles from mounting the pavement. (See attached drawing).
These two measures are designed to work together to improve road safety, reduce congestion, and create a more pedestrian-friendly environment, particularly during school drop-off and pick-up times.
These proposals apply at all times and will affect all residents and businesses in the area. They are intended to create a safer, more pleasant street environment and encourage healthier, more active travel choices for both children and adults.
Phases
Consultation
These proposals are in response to ongoing safety concerns raised by the school community and local residents.
During peak times, Sellons Avenue experiences significant congestion due to vehicles dropping children off at school, which creates risks for pedestrians and limits access for other road users. Cars parked partially on the footway reduce space for pedestrians and increase the risk of collisions.
The proposed changes aim to improve pedestrian safety, reduce congestion, and create a safer, more accessible environment for everyone using the street. They also support a shift towards greener, more active modes of transport, such as walking, cycling, and scooting.
