Streets that prioritise pedestrian and cycle movements will help create strong, healthy and social communities and it is important that all key streets and spaces within the site conform to the strategic layout for walking and cycling.
Clear kerb-separation between the carriageway, cycleway and footway will prevent conflict between road users and a consistent design across street types will help wayfinding, especially for those with vision impairments. Generous tree planting will create attractive, shady routes and mitigate against wind tunnels on streets with high buildings. A design which limits motor traffic to speeds of no more than 20mph will create safe spaces that support the county council’s new Vision Zero approach to road collisions. The coordinated approach to street furniture should limit obstructions to movement and enjoyment of the public space.
