South Westminster Traffic Management Study

Scope and Objectives for the South Westminster Traffic Management Study

A group of interested parties have agreed to conduct a South Westminster Traffic Management Study to assess the impacts on the area of current proposals for traffic management changes and developments, and also to develop a blueprint for longer term traffic management in the area.

The blueprint will be designed to meet the following objectives for the road network (other than any roads on the strategic road network, for which different objectives apply):

1. Improved streetscape and public realm

2. Reduced congestion and "rat-running", contributing in turn to points 3, 4 and 6

3. Improved access to properties for residents, traders and their customers by public transport and taxi, on foot, by bicycle and, where necessary, by car

4. Improved access by appropriate commercial vehicles for goods and services

5. Adequate parking for those vehicles which need to be parked

6. Reduced environmental impact of traffic on residents, businesses and pedestrians, including air quality, noise, visual impact and severance

7. Reduced accident levels

8. Reduced fear, intimidation and perceived risk of crime

9. Improved economic impact, reflecting both turnover and investment values, as a result of the above

10. A reasonably equitable distribution of the benefits of these objectives across the area
