Local Safety Scheme - Clapgate Lane

Overview

Birmingham City Council has an obligation to undertake safety schemes on the Highway. In order to undertake this commitment, funding has been secured to enable a programme of schemes to be delivered. Schemes are selected using criteria set out in the current Birmingham Road Safety Strategy.

Clapgate Lane/Stonehouse Lane (between Kettles Wood Drive and Woodgate Valley Fire Station) has been identified within the Safety Scheme Programme as meeting the criteria.

We are therefore proposing to make the following improvements:

• New traffic calming road markings west of Sommerfield Road, and east of the service road off Stonehouse Lane.
• New uncontrolled drop crossing facility and associated tactile paving on Clapgate Lane, near the junction of Parkside, as well as an upgraded 'school ahead' warning sign.
• New advance directional signage for the junction of Clapgate Lane/Stonehouse Lane/Jiggins Lane. Sign to advise of correct lane use with additional lane arrows.
• Upgraded pedestrian crossing sign on Stonehouse Lane.

Before we move to the next stage of preparing to bid for funding, we would welcome any comments or questions that you have on these proposals.
