Dudley Road Phase 4 - Winson Green Road/Heath Street: Traffic Regulation Orders

Overview

Over the next few years, a lot of new housing will be built near Dudley Road, increasing the number of people wanting to travel in the area.

Walking, cycling and public transport are vital tools in the difficult tasks of solving congestion, air quality and our climate crisis. The COVID-19 pandemic has also changed people’s habits and further highlighted the importance of walking and cycling as safe and sustainable ways to travel.

We are therefore planning to improve the Winson Green Road and Heath Street area to:

• upgrade facilities for pedestrians and cyclists
• reduce traffic congestion through junctions

We are hoping to start building this fourth phase of the scheme around Winson Green Road and Heath Street, in late 2022.

This consultation is on the legal order required to make changes to the road for this fourth phase of delivery.

What is included in this consultation?

A Traffic Regulation Order, or TRO is the legal documentation required to make changes to the status of the highway (road). A TRO is often accompanied by a plan (map) showing the proposed measures visually.

This consultation includes one type of TRO: parking restrictions (waiting and loading restrictions). 

There is also information in this consultation about proposed controlled pedestrian/cycle crossing facilities (toucan crossings) and the installation of segregated cycleway and non-segregated shared use footway/cycleway. These changes can be made without a TRO.
