In many parts of Birmingham, residents find their streets are busy with traffic, particularly when people are ‘rat running’ to avoid main roads.

Low traffic neighbourhoods are groups of residential streets bordered by main or ‘distributor’ roads (where non-local traffic should be) where through trips by motor vehicles are discouraged or restricted. You can now see plans of the proposed changes in the area, including how the wider project area is broken down into smaller low traffic neighbourhoods. Most of the proposed changes are modal filters, that allow people on foot, bike or mobility scooter to pass but do not allow cars or other motor vehicles through.An online briefing on this project was held on 24 August – <a href="https://youtu.be/qBep9R-Yb_k">view recording</a> . Your viewsWe want to hear what you think about your street and your neighbourhood - What is good about it and what isn&#39;t so good? What could help fix any problems and make the area better? You can also tell us what you think of these plans, including the proposed locations of modal filters. These will be introduced over the next few weeks as temporary changes on a trial basis (a condition of the funding is that the measures must be in place by the end of August).Trials will initially last for up to 6 months, giving an opportunity to see how they are working and to make any necessary changes.We want to work with local residents, businesses, community groups and others to encourage difference uses of this space. We can also think about how any trial measures might be made more permanent, if this is something people want to see happen – this process should be shaped by the people who live and spend their time in these areas. <a href="https://birminghamactivetravelmap.commonplace.is/comment">Use the map to tell us about a specific location</a> (the Kings Heath project area is highlighted in blue) or use the form below to make general comments.

These will be modal filters that allow people on foot, bike or mobility scooter to pass but do not allow cars or other motor vehicles through.<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/commonplace-digital-limited/image/upload/c_limit,w_1024/v1595587402/projects/covidmeasuresbirmingham/18b71b11-cd57-4a57-8150-18f63728313c.png" />Example of modal filter in West Norwood, London.These trial measures will be located: •	on Oak Tree Lane, to the south of the junction with Woodbrooke Road. <a href="https://www.google.com/maps/@52.4293587,-1.9398775,3a,47.6y,156.59h,80.37t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sWTETn7PiZDy1xFqTpg-bVw!2e0!7i13312!8i6656">see Location in Google Streetview</a> . •	on Franklin Road, to the west of the junction with Linden Road/Watford Road. <a href="https://www.google.com/maps/@52.4202469,-1.9325727,3a,46.7y,227.07h,93.44t/data=!3m9!1e1!3m7!1swPIILzsTcYeGqa-43js5Zw!2e0!7i13312!8i6656!9m2!1b1!2i28">see location in Google Streetview</a> .Online Briefing An online briefing on this project was held on 9 September – <a href="https://youtu.be/c3jpS7tgQms">view recording</a> .Contractors will be on site installing these measures from Wednesday 23 SeptemberRoad markings and signs, including advance warning signs, will be installed first, followed by the planters to create the modal filters. Once the planters and signs are in place motor vehicles will no longer be allowed through these locations. Work should be completed by Friday 25 September. Please note that this is an indicative schedule and may be subject to change.Once construction is complete, we plan to run some ‘pop-up’ events in the local area - although we will need to arrange this in line with any guidelines and restrictions that are in place.

Reducing the amount of traffic on local streets in Lozells, so that it is nicer to be outside and safer for people to walk and cycle, children to play, neighbours to chat.

Lozells
Low Traffic Neighbourhood

This page is currently closed for feedback. If you want to comment on the Experimental Traffic Regulation Order which is now in place for this scheme you can do so at <a href="https://www.birminghambeheard.org.uk/economy/ebtp-lozellsltn-etro/">Birmingham Be Heard</a> where you can also view all relevant plans and documents.We will be considering and analysing comments received to date as part of the <a href="https://www.birmingham.gov.uk/news/article/748/review_of_16_million_emergency_transport_measures_to_launch_this_month">review</a> we are carrying out of our recently implemented <a href="https://www.birmingham.gov.uk/emergencytransportplan">emergency transport measures</a> . If you have any questions, please email connected@birmingham.gov.uk.We are currently finalising details of the next set of schemes to be delivered through the Department for Transport’s Active Travel Fund in early 2021. We will shortly be setting up new project pages or reopening existing ones (as appropriate) to enable people to provide further comments and suggestions over the next few weeks.Lozells Low Traffic Neighbourhood is part of our new <a href="https://www.birmingham.gov.uk/placesforpeople">Places for People</a> project, which aims to reduce traffic in residential neighbourhoods so that it is safer for people to walk and cycle, and nicer to be outside for children to play and neighbours to chat. In many parts of Birmingham, residents find their streets are busy with traffic, particularly when people are ‘rat running’ to avoid main roads. When traffic is reduced the neighbourhood becomes quieter, the air is cleaner, and streets feel safer.The principle of Places for People is that residents can continue to drive onto their street, have visitors, get deliveries, etc, but it is made harder or impossible to drive straight through the area. Low traffic neighbourhoods are groups of residential streets bordered by main or ‘distributor’ roads (where non-local traffic should be) where through trips by motor vehicles are discouraged or restricted. You can now see plans of the proposed changes in the area, including how the wider project area is broken down into smaller low traffic neighbourhoods. Most of the proposed changes are modal filters, that allow people on foot, bike or mobility scooter to pass but do not allow cars or other motor vehicles through. Your viewsWe want to hear what you think about your street and your neighbourhood - What is good about it and what isn&#39;t so good? What could help fix any problems and make the area better?You can also tell us what you think of these plans, including the proposed locations of modal filters. These will be introduced over the next few weeks as temporary changes on a trial basis (a condition of the funding is that the measures must be in place by the end of August).Trials will initially last for up to 6 months, giving an opportunity to see how they are working and to make any necessary changes.We want to work with local residents, businesses, community groups and others to encourage difference uses of this space. We can also think about how any trial measures might be made more permanent, if this is something people want to see happen – this process should be shaped by the people who live and spend their time in these areas.<a href="https://birminghamactivetravelmap.commonplace.is/comment">Use the map to tell us about a specific location</a> (the Lozells project area is highlighted in green) or use the form below to make general comments.

Transforming the city centre by prioritising walking, cycling and public transport and creating more space for people.

City Centre Segments

This page is now closed for feedback. Details on the next phase of development of City Centre Segments can be found <a href="https://covidmeasuresbirmingham.commonplace.is/proposals/city-centre-segments-overview">here</a> .Transforming the city centre was one of four Big Moves outlined in the draft Birmingham Transport Plan (launched in January 2020). To achieve this, fundamental changes to how the city centre is accessed was proposed as part of a city centre ‘traffic cells initiative’.Through this, the city centre will be divided into a number of segments. Each area can only be accessed from the A4540 Middleway (ring road), and to move from one segment to another in a private vehicle you would have to go back out onto the A4540 Middleway. Movement between the segments would be unrestricted, and indeed enhanced, for public transport, pedestrians and cyclists.This commitment to transforming the city centre through the creation of walking and cycling routes alongside public transport services and limited access for private vehicles was reinforced in the <a href="https://www.birmingham.gov.uk/emergencytransportplan">Emergency Birmingham Transport Plan</a> (approved in June 2020).Through the Emergency Active Travel Fund, we are now able to begin to implement these city centre segments, creating more space for people by reducing the volume of through traffic and the dominance of vehicles on minor roads in the city centre.The area within the A4540 Middleway will eventually be divided into six city centre segments, as shown below. The first phase of measures are being introduced alongside new pop-up cycle lanes in the city centre.The first phase of will be delivered using temporary traffic management including barriers, cones, signs and road markings. It will include the following changes:· Prohibiting access to Cecil Street, Lower Tower Street and Brearley Street from New Town Row (access to New Town Row will be maintained) · Restrictions to north–south movements along Camden Street, Sand Pits and Parade· Restrictions to east–west movements along Bristol Street· Restrictions to westbound movements through A4400 St Chads QueenswayThis scheme is being delivered on a trial basis for the next few months, with the potential for the measures to be modified and/or made permanent in line with the Emergency Birmingham Transport Plan.

When traffic is reduced the neighbourhood becomes quieter, the air is cleaner, and streets feel safer.The principle of Places for People is that residents can still drive onto their street, have visitors, get deliveries, etc, but it is made harder or impossible to drive straight through the area.As part of the first phase of this project, we made some streets in the area, including around local schools, one-way. These included:<li>an access-only loop around Anglesey Infant School,</li> <li>northbound on Hunters Road from Barker Street towards Villa Road,</li> <li>south-westbound on Finch Road, alongside Heathfield Primary School,</li> <li>southbound on Archibald Road between Carlyle Road and Lozells Road.</li><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/commonplace-digital-limited/image/upload/v1613477416/projects/covidmeasuresbirmingham/723efd52-4686-4f19-9420-29be6e642e16.png" />Your viewsWe know not everyone is feeling the benefits from the first phase of this project and there is much work still to be done.
