Image description

The plan shows Option 3 for Dryden Road to be made one-way in an eastbound direction for motor vehicles between Well Oak Park and Kipling Drive. Cyclists and pedestrians would have two-way access along this section of Dryden Road.

Two-way access for motor vehicles would be permitted along Dryden Road between Barrack Road and Well Oak Park and between Kipling Drive and Wonford Street.

*Dryden Road eastbound is expected to have lower traffic level than westbound. Dryden Road one-way in a westbound direction is not proposed as the predicted level of traffic is typically above what guidance would recommend being suitable for on street cycling without physical segregation.

Advantages:
1. All eastbound traffic movements possible.
2. Reduces through traffic along Dryden Road.
3. Helps provide moderate quality section of cycle route.

Disadvantages:
1. Higher traffic levels than Options 1 and 2.
2. Longer journeys to access some properties by vehicle.
3. Higher traffic volumes create less attractive environment for cycling.
