Changes are being proposed by Southampton City Council to “improve St Denys Road”, including “improved facilities for walking, cycling and bus travel; junction changes; and upgrades to traffic signals”.
Article continues after this message...
The key elements being proposed are:
- Replacing traffic signals at the junction with Belmont Road, moving the bus stop and making part of Belmont Road one-way northbound
- Provision of a westbound-only (due to lack of width) cycle lane on the St Denys Road approach to Portswood from the junction with Thomas Lewis Way
- Extension of the southbound (left turn) lane from Thomas Lewis Way onto St Denys Road and changes to signal stage to reduce congestion, along with an upgrade for the pedestrian and cycle crossing on the southern arm
- Implementation of signalised pedestrian crossings on all four approaches to the junction of St Denys Road and Priory Road to improve pedestrian crossing facilities in eastern St Denys
- Installation of protected cycle lanes on both sides of the St Denys Road carriageway between Adelaide Road and Riverside Park. “To facilitate this, on-street parking on St Denys Road near Priory Road and Stanley Road would be removed, but parking would instead be provided on Stanley Road and also Priory Road” said the council.
