The Upper High Street

Design Considerations

* Create a pedestrian priority environment in which traffic gives way to pedestrians.

* Achieve design speeds of 20mph with traffic calming measures such as side road entry treatments and informal raised crossing points.

* Explore potential to incorporate on-street parking with restrictions and bus stops for
discreet sections of the street which do not conflict with parking and servicing needs of local businesses.

* Explore potential to widen footways for continuous sections for the street.

* Reconstruction of the carriageway may be needed to achieve minimum kerb heights along the street..

* Designs need to incorporate bus route
