Green Lane Traffic Calming

Feedback from Public Consultation

A public exhibition on the proposals was held at Petersgate Infants School on 7th October 2013, between 4pm and 8pm. Residents of Green Lane had been notified of the exhibition, by letter, during the week commencing 23rd September. The County and District Councillors, Parish Council and the Residents Group were also made aware of the exhibition.

Approximately 100 people attended, 68 signed the attendance sheet, but there were a number who attended that did not sign in. Of those who signed in, the number attending by road lived in is provided at appendix A. Where possible those attending were encouraged to complete a questionnaire at the exhibition. 54 completed questionnaire were returned on the evening.

The proposals and the questionnaire were placed on the EHDC web site from the 8th – 22nd October. A further 15 questionnaires were received following the exhibition, giving 69 in total.

The questions asked were;

1. Do you think speeding is a problem on Green Lane? 2. If you live near the existing road humps do you find noise/vibration caused by vehicles passing over them to be a problem? 3. Would you support proposals to change the existing road humps to speed cushions? 4. Do you support some form of traffic calming on the northern section of Green Lane? 5. Which traffic calming option would you prefer? a) Speed cushions b) Road humps c) Neither 6. Do you support the proposed Gateway? 7. Do you support the proposed change to the Walburton Way junction?. 8. Do you support the proposal for a raised table junction? 9. Do you support the proposed footway improvements?

A copy of a questionnaire is provided at Appendix B.

An analysis of the responses received is given in the following table. In addition to a summary of all replies, the responses have been split into those from residents living in the currently traffic calmed section southern section of Green Lane, residents from the northern section of Green Lane where traffic calming is proposed, those from residents living in roads which may suffer from ‘rat running’ following the traffic calming of Green Lane and finally response from other residents.

Summary of Responses

When asked whether they thought speeding was a problem on Green Lane was a problem 71% of all respondents though it was. However, 95% of those living on the northern (un-calmed) section of Green Lane thought speeding was a problem. Interestingly only 55% of those living on the southern (calmed) section though speeding was a problem, which is an indication that the existing traffic calming is effective.

The second question was aimed specifically at residents living on the current traffic calmed section and was seeking views as to whether noise and/or vibration was an issue with the existing humps. There was a 50/50 split from those who responded, so there is no clear indication either way.

With regard to changing the existing humps to cushions views were generally split. However, the majority of those living within the traffic calmed area were in favour of retaining the humps.

There was general support for some form of traffic calming on the northern section of Green Lane, with 67% of all respondents in favour and 88% of residents living within the northern section in favour. When it came to the type of calming there was less clarity although the majority of those living within the northern section of Green Lane were in favour of cushions.

The proposed gateway to the traffic calmed area was not generally supported. Feedback from the exhibition was that the gateway was too close to the junction with Chalton Lane, which could create queues back into Chalton Lane, with a risk of tail end accidents.

Proposed changes at the Walburton Road junction, from a mini roundabout to a priority junction, with vehicles travelling south on Green Lane having to give way only received 40% support. However, as this is a safety improvement, aimed at slowing traffic and improving crossing for pedestrians and will also be consistent with other junctions on Green Lane, this proposal will be retained.

Proposals for a raised table junction at Redwing Road, at the entrance to Petersgate Infants School, and improvements to the existing footway received strong support.

Comments were made with regard to the speed of traffic on Storrington Road and Walburton Way approaching Green Lane. It is therefore proposed to install speed cushions on the roads close to the junction with Green Lane.

Several comments were included on the completed questionnaires and these are provided at Appendix C, grouped into subject area as far as possible.

6 APPENDIX C

DETAILED COMMENTS FROM QUESTIONNAIRES

Is speeding a problem on Green Lane

 Impossible to get any decent speed because of road humps.  There is a lot of speeding along Green Lane late evening and at night.  Do not consider Green Lane to be a fast road due to rumble strips/junctions already in existence  At the presentation event held at Petersgate School, the officers stated that traffic had been measured at an average speed of 37 mph. We seriously do not believe this to be the case or even achievable.  Speeding is not a problem along Green lane due to the parked cars  Currently, speeding is a minor problem.

Noise/Vibration from Existing Humps

 Lorries and trailers yes

Change Humps to Cushions

 No because 4x4 can straddle cushions.  Neither do much good.  Will not slow motorcycles.  Preferred option complete removal.  Remove them  Improve and remove humps  Removing the existing rumble strips and replacing with cushions would make little if any difference. Most cars are able to straddle them and do not slow their speed when crossing them.  Road humps should be removed completely and not replaced  Humps outside are not needed as the parked cars restrict the road to single lane. The humps should be removed as they cause problems for buses and ambulances.

Traffic Calming on Northern Section of Green Lane

 Humps/cushions not suitable to slow cars down, people don’t keep their cars long enough to worry about the suspension.  If you put in the proposed hump/cushion outside my house, will you pay for triple glazing on the front?  I support any thing that helps slow traffic as living at No. 97 Green Lane I am very aware of speeding cars  The only speed calming requirement is between Hazel Grove and the junction with Chalton Lane.  We object to road humps or speed cushions on the northern end. If you do this the traffic from the new estate is going to drive up Hazel Grove!!! Therefore if we do not manage to stop this we would like either speed cushions or road humps up Hazel Grove to stop it turning into a race track, because at the moment we live in a quiet residential road!!!  Too much or too many restrictions will simply put more traffic along New Road – which is already at capacity.  Speed humps, bumps and cushions do not slow traffic, small vehicles drive round them and lorries ignore them, wholesale.

7 APPENDIX C

 Do not put in pinch points as parked vehicles already narrow it and edges are degraded.  No – road is not wide enough.  Do not see the necessity for four sets of cushions between Chalton Lane and Endal Way

Humps or Cushions

 If road humps are chosen, please put in additional drainage. Please don’t use sharp profile kerb stones. However, slowly one drives, intimidating oncoming traffic can cause real damage to tyres.  Full sized humps are preferred, since cushions are usually ineffective  We have a classic car with a very low base – humps are not good for it.  The best traffic calming is the use of ‘priority islands’ like those at Greatham (near Liss), allows emergency vehicles to travel on flat roads.  There should be pinch points along Green Lane at regular intervals to slow the traffic instead of humps or cushions. - Would prefer pinch points along Green Lane, similar to Petersfield and Horndean to avoid damage to ‘low slung’ vehicles  Speed cushions are preferable to road humps

Gateway

 No way what so ever, bad experiences at two of these – Dangerous.  As the priority is from Green Lane I would be anxious that the incoming traffic will feed back into Chalton Lane  Gateway in Chalton Lane/Green Lane will cause massive pile ups. Needs a roundabout on car park by farm (Farmer will sell).  With the amount of traffic regularly diverted off the A3 along Green Lane, it could cause even more chaos.  Road is narrow already.  Too close to junction to be worth it – means cars will accelerate 20m further round the corner.  There is no requirement for a proposed gateway in Green Lane. Vehicles would track up with the racers to Chalton Lane. This is dangerous and unnecessary addition. Maybe a roundabout.  No, because there are hundreds of houses along Green Lane now. Vehicles will come off A3M at 50mph and hit stationary traffic. There is only waiting for approx. 5 cars – not enough. Bonkers idea!! Roundabout would be better.  This will cause accidents. The gateway will cause problems for traffic entering Green lane from Chalton Lane in rush hours and will back up Chalton Lane, accident waiting to happen.  Proposed gateway will increase the danger at the northern end of Green Lane and put a tailback along Green Lane and up Chalton Lane, so increased risk of rear-end shunts. Speed cushions along Green lane should reduce dangerous speeds. If after a period this is not effective, consider additional measures such as a gateway.  A ‘gateway’ at the end of Green Lane will add to existing jam when turning into Chalton Lane at peak hours – so please drop this proposal.  I do not support the gateway from Chalton Lane into Green Lane as I think the volume and speed of traffic proceeding Chalton Lane into Green Lane is too fast and too frequent. I would support a new road layout at this junction.

8 APPENDIX C

 Proposed give way Chalton Lane into Green Lane is a proposal for a major accident i.e. 50mph into stopped vehicles turning left!!  Could cause problems at busy times with traffic queuing back on to Chalton Lane.  You may wish to consider reversing the ‘gateway’ at the northern end of Green Lane – this would avoid traffic backing up and potentially blocking Chalton Lane.  The gateway at the north end Green Lane/Chalton Lane junction can cause tailbacks into the 50mph zone in Chalton Lane with increased danger of accidents.  Will cause traffic to stack up Chalton Lane with higher risk of accidents. Why not widen the junction and put in a roundabout and speed bumps on Chalton Lane.  Will cause traffic to stack on Chalton at peak times possible back-end accidents – parked vehicles already narrow road sufficiently.  Traffic will race along Chalton Lane, resulting in back end shunts.  No!. the proposed ‘gateway’ would be dangerous – speed of traffic approaching Green Lane from A3M down would then be into Chalton Lane, a tail back queue on Green Lane as latter is a high traffic volume lane– particularly at rush hour and school times.  The gateway suggestion – lorries or buses would have to swing so far across Chalton Lane to enter Green Lane that they would bring traffic on Chalton Lane to a holt  I believe ‘gateways’ to be wasteful of fuel as it makes it necessary to completely stop on many occasions, especially on a road as busy as Green Lane is for much of the time.  The gateway would cause too much disruption.  Our greatest concern is with the proposed "gateway" at the northern end of Green Lane. As priority is being given to vehicles exiting Green Lane into Chalton Lane, at peak flow times (6pm weekday evenings etc), there is the potential for traffic to queue from Charlton Lane into Green Lane. This could lead to either traffic travelling west along Green Lane exiting the 50mph speed limit being confronted by queuing traffic waiting to turn into Green Lane or the traffic which wishes to continue on Chalton Lane, to use the right hand lane to get past the queue with the possibility that traffic exiting Green Lane being hit. In the event of an accident on the northbound A3, historically traffic exits at Horndean and goes via Clanfield to re-join the A3 at QE Country Park in an effort to bypass the accident. On these occasions, Green Lane is nose to tail gridlock and any traffic wishing to turn off of Chalton Lane onto Green Lane would have no opportunity whatsoever to do this, Green Lane having queuing cars for its entire length If this gateway goes ahead, local motorists who do not need to access the new housing development, might decide to continue up Charlton Lane, into New Road and then down Hazel Grove. Neither New Road, nor Hazel Grove is wide enough to accommodate an increased volume of traffic and the junction of Hazel Grove and New Road does not have good visibility in any direction..  Green Lane is the main thoroughfare for large articulated delivery lorries to the Drift Road shops and the present turning radius means they have to encroach on the opposing side of the road so it would be very difficult for them to negotiate gateway features. The traffic exiting Green Lane will also block incoming traffic at the gateway feature  The narrowed Chalton Lane/Green Lane proposal would cause traffic problems in rush hour in and out of Clanfield from the A3. It is already tight when turning into Green Lane and especially as Lorries and buses use this junction.  The main problem is traffic coming down from the A3 cutting through to the A32. there should be a roundabout at the junction of Green lane and Chalton Lane. If

9 APPENDIX C

this is not possible then there should be a ‘gateway’ on Chalton Lane to slow traffic to Green Lane.  Gateway feature should be installed on Chalton Lane to slow the traffic approaching the village, with another one on Hambledon Road for the same purpose.  Re: Q6 – The preferred solution would be a roundabout at the Chalton Lane/Green Lane junction. Traffic approaching the village is often doing over 30mph, a roundabout would slow traffic speeds. Would also prevent large commercial vehicles using Chalton Lane – South Lane – Hambledon Road as a rat run between the A32 and the A3.  The Gateway would be more appropriate along Chalton Lane

Walburton Road Junction

 Does not slow cars heading north at all and often used dangerously.  Raised mini roundabout more effective at slowing traffic coming from all directions rather than priority junction.  Priority junction at Storrington Road is already very dangerous. Cars assume that others not indicating are travelling north – south and will pull out in front of them. Much more dangerous than a roundabout! Do not do the same for Warburton Way junction!  Raise height of existing roundabout and leave.  As Green Lane carries the most traffic it should have priority. I believe this is a safety issue - Green lane needs priority.  If implemented, this will cause more problems for articulated vehicles negotiating the narrowness of Green Lane.  If you change Warburton Way junction please don’t make same mistake that has been made at Storrington Road junction. A pedestrian crossing from Storrington to Green Lane (outside No. 70 Green Lane) cannot see traffic travelling south until it is nearly too late. I cross there regularly and have to listen for traffic. The problem is that the bend in the road means oncoming traffic cannot be seen until the vehicle is almost at junction. Please be careful at Warburton Way.  Walburton roundabout should stay acting as calming.  Existing roundabout would be more effective if better marked e.g. Keep left bollards on approach and arrow signs on it.  More dangerous expecting Green Lane traffic to stop.  Keep roundabout at bottom of Warburton Way but build it up. When it snows – this whole junction is very icy.  Why has Walburton Way got priority? It’s a quiet road.  Totally agree with change to Walburton junction – Warburton is a hill and this would be much safer.  Safer?  Replacing the roundabout at Walburton Way with a junction would not prevent anyone determined to speed.  Roundabout at Warburton Way if used properly is safe, removing this would made it hazardous for those emerging from the north section.

Raised Table at Redwing Road

 Put double yellow lines at Redwing Road junction instead of raised table junction as this tends to give the impression that they are a crossing. Yellow lines will give a larger car free area, for a safer crossing for the school.

10 APPENDIX C

 Very surprised that there is no plan for a formal (e.g. Zebra) crossing near the school entrance.  Stopping parents parking along Green Lane near the school would reduce accident risk.  People ignore them  Outside school – remove humps.  We fail to understand how the raised junction at Petersgate School will slow traffic. Double yellow lines are needed to prevent parking at school times, but this would only push parking further up Redwing Road, which is not ideal  The provision of School Crossing is unclear and needs clarification. Flashing warnings are a must, plus a large area around the school entrance should be signed as no-parking.

Footway Improvements

 Yes at the narrowest parts – at start of Green lane/Chalton - however, reluctant to loose green verge on wider sections. Important to protect all green slips of land.  Please look at south of Pine Drive, particularly the lamppost there, impossible to get through on pavement.  Only by moving the road closer to Down Farm to allow it to be widened.  I would like something done along Green Lane for pedestrians.  Needs something on Storrington Road pathway other side of Green Lane between Storrington Road and Warburton Way to stop children crossing on the school run.  There is no pavement on Green lane beyond No. 66 and people walking down Storrington Road going southwards are forced to cross the road at a blind spot – anticipated number of pedestrians coming down Storrington Road will increase once access through new estate are opened – there was a fatality at this spot over 10 years ago  The footpath all the way along Green Lane is in a very poor state of repair not helped by cars frequently parked on the pavements.  Only way is to move closer to Down Farm or take land from new flats on corner.  Footpaths at north end will not stretch to 1.8 metres.  Footpaths in general are inadequate.  Footpaths need to be resurfaced – not widened except at the Green Lane/Chalton Lane junction.  Not wider.  There is , and has been, for many years been a need to widen the pavements. Walking with a toddler and a pushchair side by side is almost impossible.  Footway is adequate as it is.  Do not want changes to footpath to make the slope into No. 87 Green Lane anymore severe as it would prevent vehicles using the driveway.

Proposed Cycle By-passes

 Cyclists should not be diverted along Service Road – what is the point?

Lighting

 Please ensure any additional lighting is as environmentally friendly and economical as possible.  Street lighting essential

11 APPENDIX C

 More lighting will effect light pollution  Please don’t put one light outside 125 Green Lane.

General

 ASAP please!  Speed control in Green Lane is requested but none of the proposals deal with people speeding down Storrington Road into Green Lane  No mention of extra pollution these measures will cause as vehicles slow and accelerate, and poor emissions at low speed. Is this not a green concern?  Construction additionally needs to be considered for Hazel Grove and New Road. These are roads currently seeing a dramatic increase in traffic excess speed due to road closure. They will continue to be used after the traffic calming to avoid all or part of Green Lane depending where you live. (traffic from Warburton etc will use Hazel Grove!!)  No pavement east side of Green Lane from new development going south. No connection of Meadow Farm access to Green Lane shown. No widening Green Lane from Warburton Way north to Chalton Lane.  Need to address road and speeding situation on New Road, Hazel Grove etc. as people use this as a rat run to escape the humps. Something needs to be done as traffic through Clanfield during accidents on A3 Green Lane and surrounding roads are at grid lock.  More measures are needed than this. Without traffic calming on Chalton Lane prior to traffic entering Green Lane, safety will be compounded. Men with heavy lorries access the north proposed gateway ? Both the Co-op and Cost Cutters have enormous delivery lorries which regularly mount pavements/cross onto opposite side of road. Are you planning to change the speed limit? Traffic needs to drop to 40 at top of Chalton and then to 30 well before reaching Green Lane. Green lane speed needs to be 20 – as it will now be a residential estate road. Traffic calming in Chalton Lane - access road for Peel park and pubs and junior school – all likely to be used by pedestrians from new estate.  Until Chalton Lane is sorted out, measures within the boundary, i.e. Green Lane Warburton Lane, the ‘Y’ junction and the new north end road, are futile.  Road width will need looking at very seriously. Buses and large vehicles have trouble at present.  A 20mph speed limit should be introduced. Extra pinch points could be used.  I understand that 30% of the movements generated by the new development will use London Road – are there any proposals to manage the increased traffic on this road?  If Green Lane is reinstated as a through road with all side roads having stop signs, enforcement of 30mph speed limit, there would be less to confuse and distract motorists.  Speed humps etc to a lesser extent cushions increase full body vibration which is being limited by law. This will affect emergency service personal and all commercial vehicles. The only answer is to block the estate entrances and put a new road to the east of them for all traffic to come from the estates next to Chalton Lane.  The Storrington Road junction is dangerous and should be a ‘stop’ not ‘give way’ junction.  This whole plan has been very poorly designed and resident views/ideas must not be ignored.  Add traffic calming on the approaches to Storrington Road to slow traffic at this point as it is very dangerous.

12 APPENDIX C

 This has clearly been designed for small vehicles not suitable for larger vehicles and buses.  Anything that reduces traffic speed on Green Lane seems to have a consequence on New Road. Please consider a 20mph limit on New Road if you introduce the proposed limits on Green Lane.  Make Green Lane the main road. It should have priority over ‘estate’ traffic. Slow traffic down with some sort of ‘islands’, use roundabouts in preference to ‘T’ junctions as people ignore them in the village. Alternatively make Green Lane and New Road into one way system.  Why make changes? No injury or accidents for 5 years. Put double yellow lines on Green Lane, by school. Traffic is driving in and out of spaces to pass through.  Why is there no effort to speed up traffic going along Green Lane to clear village of traffic quickly?  When will surface of Green Lane be re-done on its entire length as it is dreadful. When big lorries come down one has to drive into the gutter and this is very dangerous  It was originally mooted that a roundabout solution would assist both the existing Chalton Lane speeding problem and the necessary easing of traffic into Green Lane from Chalton Lane  When we objected to the new housing we were categorically told that the increase if any in the traffic on Green Lane would be minimal  This is counter to the EHDC Statements that the impact of the Green Lane development would have minimal effect on traffic levels.  The easiest way of improving traffic flow is to ban parking on Green Lane – all the houses have drives so there is no need for on street parking.  Cars come down Chalton Lane and ignore the 30mph speed limit. They then enter Green Lane at great speed. Maybe Chalton Lane has some traffic calming measures.  More traffic will use New Road unless traffic calming is introduced there.  Surprised that traffic calming measures are now considered necessary as at the time of discussion prior to planning permission being granted for the current housing development, an EHDC traffic study came to the conclusion that the number of traffic movements created by the new housing would have minimal impact. Has this now changed even before the development is complete? Does EHDC admit that they got it wrong and that the local residents were correct?  It seems that the proposal is to spend money for the sake of it and that little or any thought has gone into the wider need for traffic calming throughout Clanfield and whether or not these measures are required or desired by Clanfield residents. In our personal opinion, there are many other faster roads which should be considered i.e. Drift Road, Chalton Lane, New Road and even South Lane.  The aim of the options presented at the exhibition were extremely limited and do not take into account a village-wide proposal to accommodate extra pedestrian and vehicular traffic generated by the Green Lane development.  The options do not take into account the Condition 20 recommendations provided by villages back on the 19th Feb 2012 (hard copy provided to Officers at exhibition)  The options do not take into account the additional road gullies and the French drain being provided by the developer, which will require reinforcement of the road edge and provision of kerbs.  No consideration has been given to the excessive speeds in Chalton Lane. Traffic calming needs to be provided on entry to the village, which should translate to slower speeds in Green Lane. Therefore the proposed gateway feature needs to be in Chalton Lane instead.

13 APPENDIX C

 There appears to be no proposal to provide footpaths at the following locations: ­ The east side of Green lane between Storrington Road and Walburton Way ­ The east side of Green Lane between the site entrance (Endal Way) and behind the hedgerows linking up with the existing footpath 72 Green lane. ­ The east side of Green Lane between the site entrance north to connect with the other footpath into the site just past 122 Green Lane, which is even more critical given the Meadowcroft Farm Development.  It is unclear whether Green Lane will be widened as there are sections which are only 5.1m wide.  Additional speed monitoring is being proposed, but no account is being taken of the information and data which has already been collected by the Speedwatch Team, which seems shortsighted.  Why were the proposals not detailed and finalised before the permissions for the building progressed.  Where are the bicycle routes  The proposed plans seem to make Green Lane as inaccessible as possible for both customers and deliveries to the various businesses. Need to allow room for Lorries turning around and for exiting Clanfield North up Green Lane.  Traffic calming should also apply on the priority junctions into Green Lane (e.g. from new development/Storrington Road) to control speed of entering at these junctions. Speeding out of the development is already noticeable.  Speed limit along Chalton Lane from roundabout to Green Lane needs to be reduced from 50mph to 40pmh.
