Bristol Road - Toucan Crossing

Overview

Working with King Edwards School in Edgbaston, Birmingham City Council is considering the implementation of a traffic signal controlled ‘toucan’ crossing on Bristol Road, as shown on drawing CA-02816_S1_001, to assist students, pedestrians and cyclists to cross this busy road.

The main elements of the scheme are:

• Provision of a staggered dual Toucan crossing, linking the two shared use cycle/pedestrian footways to provide a facility for pedestrians / cyclists to cross at this location.
• A new path across the central reserve to link the crossings, along with a review of the existing street lighting.
• Removal of approximately 6 trees to ensure drivers can see the traffic signals. The trees removed will be replanted on a two for one basis in the locality.
   

Subject to all necessary approvals, works are currently programmed for construction early 2017.
