Quietway Q5 | London Borough of Lambeth – Streatham South 4
1 Background
1.1 About Quietways
Quietways are a network of high quality, well signed cycle routes throughout London, mostly using the backstreets. The routes will link key destinations and are designed to appeal to new and existing cyclists who want to use quieter, low- traffic routes. Quietways will 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.
Transport for London (TfL) is working in partnership with the London boroughs and managing authorities to deliver seven Quietways routes by the end of 2016. The first seven routes, boroughs and partners, are:
Q1 – Waterloo to Greenwich (Lambeth, Southwark, Lewisham, Greenwich) Q2 – Bloomsbury to Walthamstow (phase 1 – Islington to Mare Street) (Camden, Islington, Hackney, Waltham Forest, Lea Valley Regional Park) Q3 – Regents Park to Gladstone Park (Dollis Hill) (City of Westminster, Camden, Brent) Q4 – Clapham Common to Wimbledon (Lambeth, Wandsworth, Merton) Q5 – Waterloo to Croydon (via Clapham Common) (Lambeth, Wandsworth, Croydon) Q6 – Aldgate to Hainault (phase 1 – Mile End to Barkingside) (Tower Hamlets, Hackney, Newham, Redbridge, and the London Legacy Development Corporation) Q7 – Elephant & Castle to Crystal Palace (Lambeth, Southwark)
The first route (Q1 Waterloo to Greenwich) was launched on 14 June, and the second route (Q2 Bloomsbury to Walthamstow – phase 1 Islington to Mare Street) is due to be complete in January 2017.
Quietway Q5 | London Borough of Lambeth – Streatham South 5
1.2 London Borough of Lambeth, TfL and Sustrans
The consultation for the St. Leonard’s area was led by Lambeth Council and all decisions on the scope, scale and process of the consultation were determined by Lambeth Council.
In August 2015, due to Lambeth Council’s limited resources and the scale of the programme of consultations on sections of two Quietway routes Q5 (Waterloo to Croydon) and Q7 (Elephant & Castle to Crystal Palace), Lambeth Council requested the assistance of TfL to provide consultation resources in order to keep the delivery and launch of the Quietway routes on schedule.
It was agreed that TfL would act under the instruction of Lambeth Council in providing resources and assistance in the consultation process.
Sustrans was instructed by Lambeth Council to design the proposals contained in the consultation and a Lambeth Council officer approved each design.
This consultation is part of a series of five on Quietway 5 in the Lambeth Council area, with the other areas as state below:
Quietway 5
• 8 Sept to 4 Oct – Ingram/Larkhall/St Leonards/Streatham south (13 schemes) • 22 Oct to 19 Nov – Clapham Common area (five schemes + TfL) • 20 Nov to 20 Dec – Baylis/Hercules Road (four schemes) • 10 Feb to 10 Mar – Cavendish Road (four sections/schemes) • 10 Feb to 10 Mar – Estreham Road (one scheme)
1.3 Schemes in the first series of consultations
In September 2015, Lambeth Council and TfL consulted on 13 schemes in the areas below:
1. Ingram Close (one scheme)
2. Larkhall area (five schemes)
3. St Leonard’s area (three schemes)
4. Streatham south area (four schemes)
Quietway Q5 | London Borough of Lambeth – Streatham South 6
2 Introduction
2.1 Purpose of the schemes
As part of the Quietway 5 route, Lambeth Council is developing proposals to enhance facilities primarily for people that cycle, but also for other road users such as pedestrians. Improvements are being proposed on Q5 through investment in a range of measures including traffic calming, and new pedestrian crossings, providing the route with safety features for all road users.
The Lambeth Council section of the Q5 route starts at Baylis Road through to Tooting Bec common and extends to the border of the London Borough of Croydon. Wandsworth and Croydon Councils have consulted on proposals for their sections of Q5.
2.2 Description of the four scheme proposals
Streatham south area 1. Greyhound Lane/Ellison Road/Estreham Road junction 2. Ellison Road (between Greyhound Lane and Kempshott Road) 3. Ellison Road/Colmer junction 4. Acacia and Colmer Estate
Proposals for these sections of the route include:
1. Greyhound Lane/Ellison Road/Estreham Road junction Enlarge the footway on Station Approach/Estreham Road to slow vehicles approaching Streatham Common station. This would also shorten the crossing distance for pedestrians crossing Estreham Road Change the junction lanes on Ellison Road to left turn only, and right turn or straight ahead only Relocate the existing loading bay on Ellison Road Introduce a 2 metre wide advisory cycle lane across the junction to guide southbound cyclists into Ellison Road
2. Ellison Road (between Greyhound Lane and Kempshott Road) Replace the speed cushions with cycle-friendly speed humps
3. Ellison Road/Colmer Road junction Replace the speed cushions with a raised table at the junction, in order to reduce vehicle speeds Extend the existing double yellow lines around the junction and remove three uncontrolled parking spaces Widen and resurface the entrance to Hermitage Path
4. Acacia and Colmer Estate Widen existing shared use tarmac path to three metre to create more space for people walking and cycling Relocate existing disabled parking bay from one side of the path to the other Widen the path and resurface the entrance

3 The consultation
The Streatham South area consultation ran from 8 September to 4 October 2015. It was intended to enable Lambeth Council to understand opinion about the proposed scheme changes.
The potential outcomes of the consultation are:
Lambeth Council decide the consultation raises no issues that should prevent us from proceeding with the scheme as originally planned Lambeth Council modify the scheme in response to issues raised in consultation Lambeth Council abandon the scheme as a result of issues raised in the consultation
The objectives of the consultation were:
To give stakeholders and the public easily-understandable information about the proposals and allow them to respond To understand the level of support or opposition for the change To understand any issues that might affect the proposal of which we were not previously aware To understand concerns and objections To allow respondents to make suggestions
3.1 Who Lambeth Council consulted
The public consultation intended to seek the views of people most likely to use the scheme location, such as those who live close or those who travel through the junction regularly. Lambeth Council also consulted stakeholder groups including the affected councils, traffic police, London TravelWatch, Members of Parliament, Assembly Members, road users, and local interest groups.
A list of the stakeholders consulted is shown in Appendix D.
Quietway Q5 | London Borough of Lambeth – Streatham South 9
3.2 Consultation material, distribution and publicity
The consultation material was available at http://www.Lambethenvironment.co.uk/quietway-consultation and publicised via letter drop to the public and email to the stakeholder groups and individuals. Materials included an overview letter, along with a detailed drawing of the schemes showing the proposals, and a route map of Quietway 5 showing the consultations and schemes in context. The public were invited to respond via an online survey on the TfL website, by letter, telephone, by email via Lambeth online and via [email protected]
Consultation was promoted through multiple channels:
Letter: A consultation letter, designs and route plan was distributed to 1,073 residents and businesses within a catchment area for this consultation. A copy of the letter is shown in Appendix B and the letter drop areas are shown in Appendix C.
Email: 218 emails were sent to stakeholder individuals and groups. A list of these stakeholders is shown in Appendix D of this report, and a copy of the email is available in Appendix E.
3.3 Meetings Lambeth council regularly liaised with local Ward Councillors along the route via correspondence and also via a quarterly cycling councillor forum at Lambeth Town Hall on the following dates:
Wednesday 8th July 2015 Thursday 3rd September 2015
At these meetings it was agreed that a FAQ on questions would be produced and shared with Cllrs and that consultation material would be shared with Cllr’s before the launch of public consultation. The forum members are in favour of the proposals as Quietways are set to delivery many of the 10 Headings from Lambeth’s Cycling Strategy (2013).
3.4 Consultation questions The consultation asked two questions; do you support the proposed changes to each of the 13 named schemes on Quietway route 5?
The options to choose to reply from were
Yes Partially Not sure No No opinion
The second question asked respondents to leave comments on the proposals.

4 Stakeholder engagement
Acting under instruction and on behalf of Lambeth the delivery agent, Sustrans, met with the tenants and the Tenants Association (TA) of the Acacia and Colmer Estate in order to present the proposals to them and highlight the forthcoming consultation.
The meeting was held on 7 September 2015 at St. Barts Church on Ellison Road and attended by Ben Driscoll and Anthony Moore of Family Mosaic Housing Association, Cllr John Kazantzis and residents of the Estate. Family Mosaic declined an invitation for an additional meeting with Sustrans until after they had the opportunity to speak with the residents further but gave an assurance that they were happy with the proposals as long as residents were.
Comments from the meeting related to:
The TA was happy with the proposal to resurface the car park and stated that they were in conversation with Family Mosaic about re configuring the disabled parking spaces and changing them to visitor bays. It was agreed that Lambeth/Sustrans would contact Family Mosaic post consultation to discuss parking.
The asked why the path would be widened and it was explained that a three metre path would allow for more space for all users. The TA understood this and stated that they hoped that the path widening did not interfere with the existing trees.
Family Mosaic suggested that a formal response from the entire estate would come via the TA.

5.2 Greyhound Lane/Ellison Road/Estreham Road – analysis of consultation responses
Of the 21 people who answered the closed question, 14 provided comments. The issues they raised are summarised below. This summary includes comments from stakeholder organisations, but those responses are also summarised separately in this section of the report. a. Traffic impact on motorists There were 23 separate references to traffic related issues in response to these proposals. One concern- arising in two responses- was that the ASL boxes on Ellison Road and Estreham Road would be too small for larger cycles and should be expanded. There were various points made about the proximity of the cycle lane on Ellison Road to existing parking spaces and loading bays. One person was opposed to the contraflow cycle lane and another asked for the section of segregated cycle lane to be resurfaced and remodelled. There was opposition to the retention of parking spaces on both sides of Ellison Road and one mention of support for the relocation of loading bays. There were two suggestions that the problem of buses blocking the junction could be alleviated by reducing the width of the pavement on Ellison Road, thereby giving more space for vehicles to pass stationary buses.
There were various other views concerning the proposals on other branches of the junction. There was one suggestion that double yellow lines should be extended on Estreham Road and another that traffic filtering should be implemented. Two people suggested that traffic filtering should be used more effectively on Greyhound Lane and on the Station Approach. b. Accessibility Accessibility was an important issue for many respondents. There was some support for the proposed widening of the pavement on Station Approach, though it was also pointed out that this may negatively affect the taxi company that operates close by and adds to the usability of the station as a whole. It was also pointed out that heavy goods vehicles use the road for deliveries to a local business and may struggle to access it if the road was narrowed further. One person suggested that pedestrian accessibility and safety may actually be in jeopardy because of the pavement widening, with vehicles turning into the road on a tighter bend and with diminished visibility of pedestrians. Several responses included requests for improved pedestrian crossings at this junction, including one for a diagonal crossing and another for informal crossing points on Estreham Road. There was one suggestion that bollards on the pavement of Estreham Road would prevent illegal parking that contributed to congestion at that junction.
c. General There were 8 comments under the General heading and of those the most popular was a suggestion that sinusoidal speed humps (those with a smoother, more gradual incline) are better than conventional speed cushions. There was a mention of support for the Quietway scheme and a related suggestion that cyclists should always have priority over other road users on Quietway routes.

5.3 Greyhound Lane/Ellison Road/Estreham Road - summary of stakeholder responses
Three stakeholder organisations answered the closed question about these proposals and two provided further feedback. These are summarised below.
Stakeholder group Summary of response
Lambeth Cyclists The organisation felt that the proposals would require traffic filtering on Estreham Road in order to succeed. They encouraged further filtering within the Greyhound Lane/A23 area.
Wheels for Wellbeing This organisation suggested that the ASL box on Ellison Road, as well as the lead in to the ASL on Estreham Road, were not large enough for users of cycles that are bigger than standard bicycles. They concluded that a better solution to the junction ought to be found.
5.4 Ellison Road (between Greyhound Lane/Kempshott Road) – responses received by public and stakeholders
Number/type of responses received
There were 21 responses to the consultation for this scheme: 18 (86%) supported or partially supported the proposals and 3 (14%) said they did not. Of the 21 responses, 18 (86%) were received by the public, and 3 (14%) by stakeholder groups.

5.5 Ellison Road (between Greyhound Lane/Kempshott Road) – analysis of consultation responses
Of the 21 people who answered the closed question, 12 provided comments. The issues they raised are summarised below. a. Traffic impacts on motorists There were 10 comments that were categorised under this theme. Two people were concerned that the proposed speed humps may slow fire engines from nearby Norbury. One person asked for ‘elephant feet’ road markings to replace the current advisory cycle lane on Ellison Road, and there was a separate call for traffic filtering on that road. There were other traffic management comments related to other roads that lead into this section of Ellison Road. For example, one person asked for a raised table at the junction of Ellison Road and Greyhound Road, and another asked for the relocation of an ASL on Greyhound Road to accommodate a new pedestrian crossing.
b. General Under the General heading, there were four comments expressing a preference for the more gradually inclining (or sinusoidal) speed humps over conventional speed cushions. One person expressed a concern that roads that require speed calming measures or have high traffic volumes are generally unsuitable for a scheme such as Quietways.
c. Safety On the subject of safety, two people were concerned that cycle lanes next to parked cars can be dangerous for cyclists. One person drew particular attention to the corner of Ellison Road and Kempshott Road, where parked cars can obstruct visibility for users of the junction. That respondent felt that better enforcement of parking restrictions was needed to improve safety.

5.6 Ellison Road (between Greyhound Lane/Kempshott Road) – summary of stakeholder responses
There were two responses from stakeholder organisations, these are summarised below.
Stakeholder group Summary of response
Lambeth Cyclists The organisation reiterated an opinion from a different Quietway scheme consultation that traffic filtering along all of Ellison Road should be considered.
Wheels for Wellbeing The organisation expressed a preference for sinusoidal speed humps over speed cushions. They were concerned by the presence of parking spaces on both sides of Ellison Road, which they felt made cycling on that road unpleasant.
5.7 Streatham – Ellison Road/Colmer Road – responses received by public and stakeholders
Number/type of responses received
There were 19 responses to the consultation for this scheme: 14 (74%) supported or partially supported the proposals and 5 (26%) said they did not. Of the 21 responses, 17 (89%) were received by the public, and 2 (11%) by stakeholder groups.

5.8 Ellison Road/Colmer Road – analysis of consultation responses
Of the 19 people who answered the closed question, 12 provided comments. The issues they raised are summarised below. This summary includes comments from stakeholder organisations, but those responses are also summarised separately in this section of the report. Traffic impacts on motorists These issues were raised seven times by respondents. Two people felt that extending double yellow lines on the corner of Ellison Road and Colmer Road was unnecessary but on the basis that it was being provided for the benefit of a hire car company that only needed access to its premises during office hours. One person was in favour of the proposed extension of yellow lines because it would improve visibility for road users. Another person felt that there should be double yellow lines on all junctions of Ellison Road.
a. Accessibility Under the theme of Accessibility, there were requests for pedestrian priority on the adjacent Hermitage Path to be properly enforced. A separate concern was that short ramps from pavement to road are a better way of accessing the road than a raised table, which is part of the proposals at this junction. It was felt that raised tables were unsafe, particularly for young children who cannot perceive where the pavement ends and the road begins.
b. General There were a number of general concerns as well. Among them, 3 people opposed Quietways and another asked for information on Cycling Level of Service assessments. In one person’s opinion it was unhelpful to filter cyclists onto shared use pedestrian pathways.

5.11 Acacia and Colmer Estate – analysis of consultation responses
Of the 19 people who answered the closed question, 11 provided comments. The issues they raised are summarised below. This summary includes comments from stakeholder organisations, but those responses are also summarised separately in this section of the report.
a. Accessibility issues were prominent in responses to this set of proposals. There was some support for the proposed widening of the path leading to the estate, though 1 person felt that this was unnecessary and 2 people were concerned that pedestrian priority on the shared path would have to be enforced. One respondent felt that the modified path would still not be wide enough and cited a guidance document produced by Sustrans to support their opinion. One viewpoint was that an entrance point of 1.05m in width was insufficient. There was a suggestion that wheelchair access to the estate would be improved if barriers close to Woodmansterne Road were removed.
b. There were a small number of other comments about the scheme. Two people suggested that the shared use path could be redirected to provide more direct access from the Colmer Estate to Acacia Road. Another person suggested that street furniture should be kept to a minimum.

5.12 Acacia and Colmer Estate – summary of stakeholder responses
There were two comments from stakeholder organisations. These are summarised below.
Stakeholder group Summary of response
Lambeth Cyclists The organisation highlighted an opportunity to improve wheelchair access to the estate by removing barriers towards Woodmansterne Road
Wheels for Wellbeing This organisation pointed out that the proposals do not make provision for the removal of bollards and that a gap of 1.5m in width is not enough for an entrance point to the estate.
5.13 Responses received about the Quietway 5 cycle route
Two people provided feedback to the question: “Do you support the overall proposals for the Quietway 5 cycle route in Lambeth?” One person submitted a protest against what they perceived to be the arbitrary closing of major roads in order to develop Quietway routes. They felt that the disadvantages caused to users of vehicles other than bicycles were unwarranted and that the consultation process on Quietways was biased towards those with an interest in cycle schemes. The other person who responded to this question was in favour of Quietway 5 and felt that the scheme would promote the interests of all road users in Lambeth; not only cyclists. The need to deal with environmental issues such as air and noise pollution were cited as reasons to support Quietway 5.
5.14 Responses received about the quality of the consultations
There were 17 comments in response to the question: “Please tell us what you think about the quality of this consultation.” Some respondents used this question to make general remarks about the Quietway scheme itself, often in the same terms that were used in responses to specific proposals from this consultation. For example, there were suggestions that the Quietway scheme should be more focused on the needs of cyclists over other road users, and that cycle lanes next to car parking spaces are unsafe. Another person made the point that speed cushions have the potential to tip over tricycles that have to pass over them. There were other comments that addressed the consultation process more directly. Seven people made positive remarks about the process as a whole or about particular aspects of it, such as the standard of graphic information on offer. Two people
Quietway Q5 | London Borough of Lambeth – Streatham South 20
suggested that they would have preferred to receive information about the consultation via email, rather than printed material in the post. One respondent reported that not all residents of Gauden Road had received notification of the proposals and felt that this warranted an extension to the consultation period. Two people felt that the level of information provided for the scheme was insufficient and made specific references to vehicle per day counts and Cycling Level of Service ratings. One person suggested that Sustrans should have organised a cycling tour of the route with local cycle groups in order to generate feedback and improvements.

Quietway Q5 | London Borough of Lambeth – Streatham South 23
Appendix A – Responses to issues raised
1. Greyhound Lane/Ellison Road/Estreham Road junction
a. Traffic impacts on motorists
ASL’s Two responses stated that the ASL’s located on Estreham Road and Ellison Road are too short and need to be extended to accommodate longer cycles. The Quietway has been designed in accordance with the London Cycle Design Standards but consideration will be given to this issue during the development of detailed design to determine whether additional length is required for ASL’s.
Contra Flow lane One respondent was opposed to the provision of the contra-flow cycle lane and another highlighted that the lane was in the ‘dooring’ zone. This contra-flow cycle lane is an existing facility and the distance from the parking will be measure during detailed design to ensure that it complies with the London Cycle Design Standards.
A request was received for resurfacing of the segregated section of the contra-flow cycle lane and improving the design of this facility. The angle of the taper for the connection between the segregated contra-flow cycle lane and Ellison Road has been amended to improve access for cyclists. This has also required the relocation of the loading bay on Ellison Road. Further consideration will be given to potential resurfacing in this location during the development of detailed design.
Removal of parking While Quietways aim to provide safe and direct routes for cyclists on quieter roads the needs of all road users should also be considered. The provision of the Quietway does not necessarily require the removal of parking on one side of Ellison Road. Removing such a significant amount of parking from this residential street is not likely to be supported by the community and as it is not necessary for the provision of the Quietway this has not been proposed. There is adequate width within the carriageway to provide for traffic movements and the contra-flow cycle lane.
Narrowing of footways Two responses were received that request narrowing of footway areas to make it easier to pass buses at the junction. It is intended that the reconfiguration of traffic lanes on Ellison Road will improve access at the junction. Significant narrowing of footways is not supported as this will have a negative impact on pedestrian movements and pedestrian safety in this location. Swept path analysis has been carried out to ensure that the design provides suitable access for all required vehicle movements.
Extension of ‘no waiting’ restrictions A request has also been received asking for the extension of ‘no waiting at any time’ restrictions in Estreham Road. The request is acknowledged and the comments received and extents of the ‘no waiting at any time’ restrictions will be given further consideration during the development of detailed design. Quietway Q5 | London Borough of Lambeth – Streatham South 24
b. Accessibility
Access for to Station Approach Concerns were raised about that the proposed amended kerb lines may restrict access for deliveries to local businesses, it must be noted that the kerb realignment does not block access to Station Approach. As part of the design process swept path analysis was carried out to ensure that the amended kerb lines do not adversely affect traffic movements of those accessing Station Approach, including for HGV’s such as large refuse trucks.
One respondent was concerned that the proposed amended kerb lines could adversely affect the taxi company that operates nearby. The corner where the amended kerb line is proposed has an existing waiting restriction (double yellow lines) in place and the proposals reinstates this waiting restriction (double yellow lines) on the perimeter of the amended kerb line. Access to station approach is retained for all vehicles, including taxis, therefore the kerb realignment does not impose any new waiting restrictions on the vehicles at this location.
Pedestrian safety One respondent was concerned about pedestrian safety believing that the widened footway adjacent to Station Approach will mean that vehicles will be turning into Station Approach on a tighter bend with reduced visibility. The amended kerb line should require vehicles to make this movement at slower speeds improving pedestrian safety and increasing visibility around the bend. The wider footway will also provide more space for pedestrian who are exiting from the station and using the signalised crossing.
New pedestrian crossing Several responses included requests for improved pedestrian crossings at this junction, including one for a diagonal crossing and another for informal crossing points on Estreham Road
The south west arm of the junction does not have a pedestrian crossing and several respondents requested improvements to the pedestrian crossings at this location and one respondent requested a diagonal crossing. When the junction was signalised in 2006 it was decided due to safety issues relating to the poor horizontal sight lines to the west of the junction that this arm would not have a signalised pedestrian crossing. We will not be proposing to alter the signals at this junction to increase pedestrian provision for crossing Greyhound Lane to due safety issues outlined above.
Bollards The request for bollards to prevent illegal parking on the footway is acknowledged and this issue will be given further consideration during the development of detailed design. c. General Respondents stated a preference for sinusoidal speed humps instead of speed cushions. The proposed speed humps will be sinusoidal speed humps and will replace the existing speed cushions on Ellison Road. Quietway Q5 | London Borough of Lambeth – Streatham South 25
One respondent has stated that they believe that cyclists should have priority over other road users on Quietway routes. Quietway routes aim to provide safe and direct routes for cyclists on quieter roads that generally have low traffic volumes and low vehicle speeds. However, it is important that the needs of all road users are considered. At the junction of Ellison Road with Greyhound Lane and Estreham Road improvements have been proposed for cyclists to ensure safe access at the junction. This must also be balanced with the need to provide crossing facilities for pedestrians and suitable access for buses and motor vehicles.
2. Ellison Road (between Greyhound Lane and Kempshott Road)
a. Traffic impacts on motorists
Speed humps Two respondents stated that they are concerned that the installation of cycle friendly (sinusoidal) speed bumps will adversely affect emergency service vehicles. The cycle friendly speed bumps are proposed to replace existing speed cushions on Ellison Road. No comments were received from the emergency services regarding this issue during the consultation.
Line Markings (Elephant footprints) One respondent requested ‘elephant’s footprints’ road markings on Ellison Road instead of the advisory cycle lane. The advisory cycle lane is considered to be the appropriate treatment on Ellison Road but the road markings at the junction with Greyhound Lane will be reviewed and the ‘elephant’s footprints’ road marking may be used at this junction.
Modal filtering Ellison Road is currently one-way northbound between Kempshott Road and Greyhound Lane (except cycles). Additional modal filtering has been considered during the development of the concept design for this location to restrict movements for motor vehicles but has not been deemed to be necessary for the implementation of the Quietway route. Some turning bans are proposed at key locations on the Quietway route but this location has not been included. It is not anticipated that modal filtering will be implemented in this location.
Raised table One respondent requested a raised table at the junction of Ellison Road with Greyhound Lane. A raised table is not considered to be necessary at this junction. The junction is signalised and adequate provision for the Quietway route can be made without the construction of a raised table.
b. General Four responses stated a preference for sinusoidal speed humps instead of speed cushions. The proposed speed humps on Ellison Road will be sinusoidal speed humps and will replace the existing speed cushions.
Quietway Q5 | London Borough of Lambeth – Streatham South 26
Some respondents have stated that they believe that routes where speed bumps are required are not suitable for Quietways. While Quietway routes are intended to follow streets with lower traffic volumes and speeds they also need to be direct and provide suitable connections between destinations. In some cases this will require Quietways to follow streets where traffic volumes are slightly higher or cross roads at busy junctions. In these cases it is vital to find appropriate solutions to ensure a continuous, safe route for cyclists. This may require more engineering interventions in some locations along the route included speed bumps.
c. Safety
Proximity of cycle lane to parked vehicles Two respondents were concerned that cycle lanes next to park vehicles can be dangerous. The contra flow lane that runs parallel to the parking is an existing facility which will be reviewed during detailed design to ensure it complies with London Cycle Design Standards.
Parking near junction Concerns have been raised regarding parking close to the junction of Kempshott Road with Ellison Road. Respondents believe that parking at this junction can obstruct visibility and is an existing safety issue. Further consideration will be given to potential requirements for waiting restrictions to ensure safety for cyclists and other users at this junction.
3. Ellison Road/Colmer junction
a. Traffic impacts on motorists Various responses were received regarding the proposed installation of ‘no waiting at any time’ restrictions at the junction of Ellison Road and Colmer Road. Some respondents are opposed to the installation of waiting restrictions while others believe that this will improve safety by ensuring that parked vehicles do not restrict visibility. It is essential that there is unobstructed visibility at the junction as the shared use path will join Ellison Road in this location. Parked vehicles could restrict visibility and vehicle movements at the junction. It is intended that the proposed waiting restrictions will be included in detailed design but the implementation of the waiting restrictions will require further consultation as part of an amendment to the relevant traffic order.
b. Accessibility Some residents expressed concern regarding potential conflict between pedestrians and cyclists on the proposed shared use path and stated that enforcement may be required to protect pedestrian priority. It is intended that wayfinding for the Quietway route will highlight pedestrian priority in this location. The widening of the path will reduce conflict between pedestrians and cyclists although monitoring may be required to ensure that any issues are identified.
Another response questioned the provision of a raised table at the junction and stated that this may be unsafe as it does not highlight the kerb line separating the carriageway from the shared use path. Dropped kerbs were requested instead of the raised table. Raised tables are effective tried and tested traffic calming Quietway Q5 | London Borough of Lambeth – Streatham South 27
measure. The raised table has been proposed to reduce vehicle speeds approaching the corner from both directions. This issue has been acknowledged will be reviewed during the development of detailed design and options will be considered to provide a visual distinction between the shared use path and the carriageway including different surface treatments.
c. General A number of respondents stated that they are opposed to the implementation of Quietways. It should be noted that this Quietway route is being developed in accordance with the Mayor’s Vision for Cycling and the London Cycle Design Standards. The Mayor’s vision is that cycling in London will become an integral part of the transport network. It should be a normal part of everyday life, something people hardly think about and feel comfortable doing in ordinary clothes. Quietways are identified as an important part of this vision and this route has been prioritised as one of the first 7 routes to be delivered in London. In developing these routes it is essential that Lambeth Council consider not only the needs of cyclists but also the potential implications for other road users to create better places for everyone and Lambeth Council will continue to do this through the development of detailed design for this project.
One respondent asked why Cycle Level of Service (CLoS) information has not been published with the consultation drawings. The Cycling Level of Service assessment is a design tool to check alignment of proposals with the London Cycling Design Standards (LCDS). Other design considerations include value for money, traffic impact assessment requirements, deliverability in the context of programme risks and constraints, stakeholder support, consents (eg planning permission) and alignment with wider TfL and Borough objectives.
Cycling Level of Service (CLoS) scores have not been produced for this/these designs, however, the principles in the LCDS have been applied and the CLoS assessment tool used to aid the design process.
One respondent advised that they believe it is unhelpful to direct cyclists onto shared use paths. This Quietway route has been designed in accordance with the London Cycle Design Standards (LCDS). Chapter 4 (Cycle lanes and tracks) of the LCDS considers specific infrastructure for cyclists on links and how to achieve consistency and coherence across the network and also provides guidance on the provision and width of shared use paths.
4. Acacia and Colmer Estate
a. Accessibility Responses included various opinions regarding the widening of the shared use path with some expressing support for the proposals while one respondent thought this was unnecessary and two were concerned about conflict between pedestrians and cyclists and enforcement of pedestrian priority. It is intended that wayfinding for the Quietway route will highlight pedestrian priority in this location. The widening of the path will reduce conflict between pedestrians and cyclists.
Quietway Q5 | London Borough of Lambeth – Streatham South 28
Wheels for Wellbeing raised concerns that the existing bollards are not wide enough for an entrance point to the estate. These comments have been noted and will be reviewed as part of the detailed design.
Some of the respondents also stated that they believe the proposed path will not be wide enough. This Quietway route has been designed in accordance with the London Cycle Design Standards (LCDS). Chapter 4 (Cycle lanes and tracks) of the LCDS considers specific infrastructure for cyclists on links and how to achieve consistency and coherence across the network and provides guidance on required width for shared use paths.
One respondent requested the removal of barriers at Woodmansterne Road. The barriers at Woodmansterne Road are not on the Quietway route and therefore this issue has not been considered during the development of the concept drawings for this scheme.
b. Other One response suggested that the path should be redirected to provide a more direct route to Acacia Road. The existing path provides a suitable connection between Ellison Road and Acacia Road. Redirecting the route may not be feasible and is likely to significantly increase the cost of the scheme so it is intended that the Quietway route will follow the existing path alignment.
It is acknowledged that some respondents have expressed concern regarding street furniture and additional signage for Quietway routes. Guidance on signage for cycle networks is included in Chapter 6 of the London Cycle Design Standards. Signage and road markings for this scheme will be developed in accordance with this guidance and any further programme specific guidance for Quietways to try and achieve a balance between the needs of cyclists who will require a clearly marked route, other road users including pedestrians and maintenance requirements.
