We undertook a survey (right) in Green Lane during the summer. Several options were offered for improvements to the road layout some of which involved the provision of cycle tracks.

The majority of respondents rejected changes to the carriageway but, by a large majority supported, the provision of vehicle activated speed signs (similar to those in use on Wetherby Road).

The Council have now agreed to provide these signs. The work should be completed before the end of the year.

To ensure that the signs target vehicles midway along Green Lane, where speeds tend to be highest, they will need to be positioned outside no .49 for northbound traffic, and outside no .77 for southbound traffic. This is because the signs detect traffic around 75-100 metres in advance of their position to give motorists time to see and respond to their message. (The signs have to be attached to a lamppost as they need a power supply)

We hope that the new signs will help to control traffic speeds on the lane.
