Executive Summary

Between 10 December 2015 and 3 February 2016, we consulted on proposals for a road improvement scheme at the junction of A205 The Avenue and Nightingale Walk as part of the Quietway 5 cycle route between Waterloo and Croydon.

We received 60 responses to consultation. Of the 50 respondents who answered the corresponding closed question, 26 said they supported or partially supported our proposals for the junction and 24 said they did not.

The main issues that respondents raised in response to consultation were:

 Impact of banned turns proposed at Nightingale Walk caused concerns about increased traffic congestion, safety and local access  Support or opposition to the scheme in general  Cycling facilities including suggestions for alternative routes and opposition to shared use space for cyclists and pedestrians  Traffic impacts including effects on motorists and journey times

Next steps

After considering all responses, we intend to proceed with the scheme as set out in the consultation documents, subject to the formal Traffic Order process and approval from the Borough of Wandsworth for changes to local roads in the scheme area.

Construction

We plan to carry out the construction work later in 2016. We will keep visitors and road users informed of our plans and progress, including writing to local residents, businesses and other stakeholders before undertaking work in their area. We also provide road traffic information to help people better plan their journeys and make informed choices about how, where and when they travel.

1 Introduction

1.1 About Quietways

Quietways are a network of high quality, well signed cycle routes throughout London, mostly using the backstreets. The routes link key destinations and are designed to appeal to new and existing people that cycle who want to use quieter, low traffic routes. Quietways complement other cycling initiatives in London, such as the Cycle Superhighways.

Quietways are more than just cycle routes. They also provide the opportunity to make streets and neighbourhoods safer and more pleasant for everyone by reducing the speed and dominance of motor traffic, improving air quality and investing in the urban realm.

For more information about Quietways, please visit tfl.gov.uk/quietways.

1.2 This scheme

As part of Quietway 5, a route is planned connecting Waterloo and Croydon, which crosses the Transport for London Road Network at the junction of A205 The Avenue and Nightingale Walk.

We developed proposals to provide a safer and more attractive cycle connection across A205 The Avenue and Nightingale Walk. These proposals aim to improve safety for cyclists and accommodate the predicted increase of cyclists along this route. The design would provide a more direct route for cyclists.

1.3 Purpose of the Scheme The scheme is designed to:

 Provide a well-signed route linking Waterloo and Croydon  Improve safety for cycling by providing more dedicated space for cycling and dedicated cycle features at the junction  Accommodate the predicted increase in cycling  Encourage less confident cyclists or those who do not currently cycle but would like to do so

1.4 Descriptions of the proposals

The changes include:

New shared Toucan crossing for pedestrians and cyclists

1. New 4-metre-wide Toucan crossing with shared-use space on adjacent footway for pedestrians and cyclists would allow them to safely cross The Avenue and cyclists to access the Quietway on Clapham Common. Measures such as signage and tactile paving would be used to indicate the shared use area. A pedestrian countdown facility would indicate remaining crossing time. 2. New 6-metre-long dropped kerb for cyclists to access Toucan crossing via shared-use space from The Avenue 3. Existing Pelican crossing removed as pedestrians would be able to use the proposed Toucan crossing 4. New footway build-out to align with new Toucan crossing and allow cyclists to easily and safely access the crossing from Nightingale Walk

Banned turns

5. No entry into Nightingale Walk. The location of the new Toucan crossing, which would allow pedestrians and cyclists to safely cross The Avenue, requires Nightingale Walk to be closed to southbound vehicles. Its new position and the footway build out would mean that vehicles would no longer have space to turn. Our latest traffic counts show that up to 96 motorised vehicles per hour turn into Nightingale Walk from The Avenue. TfL’s traffic modelling indicates that these vehicles could be accommodated within the existing network without causing significant delay. A number of alternative routes are available nearby for motorists. Access to Nightingale Walk from the south would remain unchanged. 6. No right turn out of Nightingale Walk. There would no longer be space for vehicles turning right out of Nightingale Walk to safely stop and wait on The Avenue while pedestrians and cyclists are using the new Toucan crossing. Our latest traffic counts show that up to 65 motorised vehicles per hour currently turn right out of Nightingale Walk. TfL’s traffic modelling indicates that these vehicles could be accommodated within the existing network without causing significant delay. A number of alternative routes are available nearby for motorists

At construction stage, the junction would also be resurfaced.

3.7 Summary of stakeholder responses

Stakeholder group Summary of response

Jane Ellison – MP for Raised concerns about the potential impact to traffic that Battersea, Balham the scheme could cause. Suggested that making and Wandsworth Nightingale Walk one-way would likely increase congestion and force motorists down residential streets and that the crossing be moved elsewhere to prevent such impacts.

London Cycling The stakeholder did not answer the closed question in Campaign terms of support for the scheme. However, concern was raised that the scheme would have an adverse impact on traffic within Clapham Common and Balham. However, it welcomed the creation of a no entry point at the northern end of Nightingale Walk. It was suggested however that the Campaign would prefer if Nightingale Walk was closed completely with a modal filter and a tiger crossing used on The Avenue over a toucan crossing. It was suggested if a modal filter was not feasible, more measures need to be implemented to slow vehicles on Nightingale Walk. Lastly, it suggested that all schemes should be given a Cycling Level of Service rating. The stakeholder did not answer the closed question in terms of support for the overall Quietways scheme.

4. Conclusion

We received 60 responses to consultation. Of the 50 respondents who answered the corresponding closed question, 26 said they supported or partially supported our proposals for the junction and 24 said they did not.

Next steps

After considering all responses, we intend to proceed with the scheme as set out in the consultation documents, subject to the formal Traffic Order process and approval from the London Borough of Wandsworth for changes to local roads in the scheme area.

Construction

We plan to carry out the construction work later in 2016. We will keep visitors and road users informed of our plans and progress, including writing to local residents, businesses and other stakeholders before undertaking work in their area. We also provide road traffic information to help people better plan their journeys and make informed choices about how, where and when they travel.

Appendix A – Response to issues commonly raised

Banned turns

There were 32 respondents who made a comment about the proposed banned movements for motor vehicles. Careful consideration is given to potential traffic impact whilst developing proposals Generally, new restrictions are proposed to either address a safety issue or physical constraint, or to help the road network operate more efficiently.

Nightingale Walk will continue to operate as a two-way road for all vehicles. However some movements into and from The Avenue will be restricted.

Impact on local roads

We acknowledge that the banned turns may result in some vehicles using other local roads to complete their journey and/or having longer journeys. The impact of this redistributed traffic has been considered against the significant benefits that will be gained for cyclists and pedestrians by banning movements at the junction of The Avenue and Nightingale Walk, and therefore enabling the installation of a new toucan crossing and extension of the footway.

Traffic counts at this junction indicate that a small proportion of motorists would be impacted, with the most recent counts showing that up to 96 motor vehicles per hour turn into Nightingale Walk from The Avenue and up to 65 motor vehicles per hour currently turn right out of Nightingale Walk.

The Quietway will deliver real benefits in terms of reduced congestion and reduced emissions through encouraging a mode shift from car travel to cycling. A large number of journeys within the local area currently made by car can also be made by bike. By providing a safe, direct and convenient cycle route through Clapham Common, we are providing local residents and businesses the opportunity to undertake journeys by bike that would otherwise have been difficult or unsafe due to the current road network.

Traffic

There were 15 respondents who made a comment about traffic, including that the scheme would increase journey times and inconvenience for motorists and the suggestion to close Nightingale Walk to motor traffic.

17

Increased journey times / inconvenience

We acknowledge that restrictions will inconvenience some motorists. However, we need to balance this inconvenience against the wider benefits that schemes such as the Quietways can deliver, both in this location and along the route as a whole.

Our proposal (including the realigned crossing and the banned turns) has been assessed using our strategic traffic modelling software, along with other Quietway proposals in the Clapham Common area. Overall, the modelling indicates that during the morning and evening peak traffic periods, our proposal will have a minimal impact on traffic flow and the change in journey times within the local area is unlikely be noticeable.

Closing Nightingale Walk to motor traffic

Some respondents suggested closing Nightingale walk to through motor traffic or to all motor traffic.

The carriageway on Nightingale Walk is not wide enough to allow a northbound vehicle to easily turn around if the access to the Avenue was closed entirely and a turning area would need to be provided. This would require removing the existing footways on Nightingale Walk or taking green space from the Common. Allowing vehicles to turn left out of Nightingale Walk onto The Avenue ensures that the amount of pedestrian and green space is not reduced.

Safety

There were 15 respondents who made a comment about safety. Safety is the primary barrier to people taking up cycling, or increasing the amount of cycling they already do. A signalised toucan crossing is the safest option to allow cyclists and pedestrians to cross The Avenue and connects the shared paths through Clapham Common with the on-road section of Quietway 5.

The current signalised pedestrian crossing is not located along the key desire line for pedestrians and cyclists travelling to and from Nightingale Walk and Clapham Common. Retaining the crossing in the existing location would require cyclists to travel along the existing narrow footways on either side of The Avenue. This would create more conflicts with pedestrian walking along The Avenue and entering / exiting the Common. Realigning the crossing directly opposite the entrance to Clapham Common reduces the number of movements that cyclists and pedestrians have to make to cross the Avenue and provides more waiting space on either side of the crossing.

The banned movements will also make Nightingale Walk quieter and more attractive for cyclists riding within the carriageway. The London Borough of Wandsworth is

18 proposing wayfinding symbols on Nightingale Walk rather than segregation or formal cycling facilities. Due to the reduction in traffic volumes on Nightingale Walk, cycling on the carriageway will be a safe and attractive option for all types of cyclists using the Quietway.

Cycling and pedestrian facilities

There were 14 respondents who made a comment about the cycling facilities in the scheme, including the pedestrian / cycle crossing and shared use space.

Alternative crossing facilities and options

The Avenue is part of the South Circular Road and is a major arterial route across South London. A signalised crossing is not only the safest crossing option for cyclists and pedestrians but also enables TfL to monitor, adjust, and maintain traffic flow along the South Circular as part of our Urban Traffic Control (UTC) system. The waiting period can be monitored and adjusted to ensure that all users (including motorists, pedestrians and cyclists) are not unnecessarily delayed. An unsignalised crossing point in this location would not offer the same safety benefits and may result in increased delays to traffic on The Avenue.

Alternative segregated crossing options (such as a Tiger crossing) are not appropriate in this instance as there are shared use facilities on both sides of The Avenue. A segregated crossing is likely to cause more conflict as cyclists and pedestrians would be required to re-join the shared use path within a relatively small section of footway.

Pedestrian / cycle crossing: location

The current signalised pedestrian crossing is not located along the key desire line for pedestrians and cyclists travelling to and from Nightingale Walk and Clapham Common. As a pedestrian crossing, cyclists are not currently legally allowed to use the crossing to cross The Avenue. As a result, the crossing needs to be upgraded to accommodate cyclists.

Pedestrian / cycle crossing: kerb extension

A shared pedestrian and cyclist (Toucan) crossing is required to be a minimum of 4 metres wide to provide adequate space for pedestrians and cyclist to safely and quickly use the crossing. The existing kerb on Nightingale Walk needs to be extended to accommodate the 4m wide crossing. Since this reduces the width of entry to Nightingale Walk, vehicles cannot safely turn into the road, and the left and right-turn movements from The Avenue are required to be banned.

19

As explained under ‘Safety’, retaining the crossing in the existing location would mean cyclists having to use the existing narrow footways either side of the Avenue.

The relocation of the crossing also means that vehicles turning right out of Nightingale Walk would not have adequate turning space or time to safely stop and wait at the signalised crossing without blocking the westbound lane of The Avenue. As a result, this movement is also required to be banned.

Shared use space

Some respondents raised a concern about providing shared use space as part of the scheme.

The paths through Clapham Common on either side of the toucan crossing will be shared paths with pedestrians and cyclists using the same space. Given the limited area available for pedestrians and cyclists at the crossing, we consider shared use space to be an appropriate measure here, allowing the predicted number of pedestrians and cyclists to use the crossing safely.

Our design includes shared use symbols on the footway and signage on poles and bollards to indicate to pedestrians and cyclists the extent of the shared use space on The Avenue. These measures will ensure that the shared use space is clearly indicated to all users and will be consistent with other toucan crossings on the TLRN (Transport for London Road Network).

We recognise that some cyclists break the law to avoid the dangers of motor traffic. However, we anticipate that providing safe space for cyclists will discourage people from riding on pavements. Providing safe space for cyclists can also help other road users by letting them know where to expect high volumes of cyclists.

Demand and justification

There were 12 respondents who made a comment about the demand and justification for the scheme, and who it would benefit, including comments that the scheme was unnecessary. The Quietways aim to overcome barriers to cycling. This proposal also provides significant benefits for pedestrians. The relocated crossing will improve connectivity for cyclists and pedestrians travelling to / from Clapham Common. The changes improve the safety of cyclists and pedestrians by reducing the temptation to cross away from marked crossings. We will install pedestrian countdown technology at the new crossing to advise pedestrians how long they have to cross.

The number of people cycling in London has increased dramatically over the last ten years. According to the 2011 Census, Wandsworth has the fifth-highest cycling mode share in London for journeys to work – 7.9%, an increase from 4.2% in the

20

2001 census. This mode share is higher than the average of 7.2% for all inner London boroughs. Overall, cycling makes up 4% of all journeys within Wandsworth – a comparable proportion to other inner London boroughs. We want to continue to support this growth by providing more cycle routes and removing barriers to cycling across London. Whilst the schemes on Quietways are focused on improving provision for cycling, all road users (including pedestrian, motorists and buses) are considered. This scheme balances the needs of all users, while ensuring that the most vulnerable road users (pedestrians and cyclists) are provided with safe facilities.

Cyclist behaviour

There were 10 respondents who expressed concerns about cyclists’ behaviour and speed and the potential for conflicts between pedestrians and cyclists.

Cyclist behaviour and speed

We acknowledge concerns raised about cyclist behaviour although our research shows that most cyclists ride responsibly, and that cyclists are no more likely to disobey road rules than other road users.

We promote adherence to the Highway Code by all road users and encourage responsible cycling and mutual respect between cyclists and other road users. We work to eliminate offences such as jumping red lights, cycling on the pavement and cycling at night without lights. We do this using police enforcement and education programmes, as well as thorough marketing and engagement campaigns.

Local impacts

Eight respondents made a comment about the impact on residents, road users and other people using the area or raised concern about potential impacts on Clapham Common or air pollution.

Impact of proposals on Clapham Common

The proposed crossing on The Avenue is part of the Quietway 5 route through Clapham Common. The London Boroughs of Lambeth and Wandsworth are supporting TfL in the design, consultation and implementation of Quietway 5.

Our proposal has been designed so that it provides for the new Quietway route, while retaining the existing access to the Common for all users and minimising any impact on the Common. The relocated crossing will provide more direct access to the Common for both pedestrians and cyclists by aligning the crossing with the

21 existing footpath. This avoids the need to realign the footpath to match the existing crossing point, which would reduce the amount of green space, and disturb the sensitive ecological environment of the Common.

Air pollution

Some respondents raised a concern about air pollution. Our data on the current volumes of traffic suggests that there would not be a noticeable increase in congestion and consequent air pollution. Additionally, Quietways also provide the opportunity to make streets and neighbourhoods safer and more pleasant for everyone by reducing the dominance of motor traffic, improving air quality and investing in the urban realm.
