Increase visibility for cars and bicycles coming in both directions to avoid blockages (which leads to impatient and dangerous driving).

6/5/2015 3:06 PMView respondent's answers

Residents parking only during working hours would decrease the amount of stationary vehicles and improve the traffic flow. Parking is very difficult, and as residents with a small baby it is important to be able to park along Church Street close to the house. I'm not convinced residents' needs are being prioritised in this consultation. A weight limit should be imposed on the bridge between Little and Great Shelfords - which must be clearly signed from quite a distance away to discourage all through traffic. Other difficulties for through traffic should be introduced, such as speed bumps along this route and 'priority flow' bollards as in Stow Cum Quy. An additional possibility is a one-way system along High Street and Wollards Lane (probably in that direction), combined with a traffic light system along Church Street.

6/5/2015 2:38 PMView respondent's answers

It;s an awful situation most days in term time. Part time alternating traffic lights as they have on several traffic islands in CB. This would allow clear alternating flows of traffic each way through the short church street bottleneck and still allow parent parking near the school - i am not one of them but I recognise their interests as well as my own. Possible restrictions on larger vehicle like trucks? While you are at it make the blind corner junction of bridge whittlesford and church a mini- roundabout . There is plenty of road space there to allow it and it would cause cars coming from whittleford to pause before continuing on the blind bend.

6/3/2015 11:58 PMView respondent's answers

Limiting the size of vehicles using the road. Often the congestion occurs because impatient drivers don't wait to allow others to pass, so some organised traffic passing eg traffic lights might help. I think if the parked cars (causing the congestion) are removed then the speed of the cars using the road would increase.

6/2/2015 10:28 PMView respondent's answers

The road can't be widened so as I see it the options can only be: 1. Build a new road to connect the A1301 to the other side of the Cam, probably Whittlesford Road. The traffic is a result of more houses being built in the area as well as new houses in other areas making the Addenbrooke's crossroad terrible in the mornings. The council(s) have decided to build these houses so they are responsible for providing the required infrastructure such as an additional road. 2. Remove parking to the point that enough passing spaces and visibility are provided. This option doesn't make things much better for cyclists unfortunately which should be important. A large part of the problem is that cars travelling east can't see if there are cars coming the other way so have to go anyway. The highway code (243) prohibits parking near school entrances and on bends so that really should be enforced. Whoever is responsible for enforcement is probably making themselves liable by not doing so. 3. Traffic lights. Need to solve the problem of people leaving spaces knowing when they can and cannot go. Additional light to indicate direction of traffic?

I fully approve of plans to remove the parking spaces. There is NO visibility around the bend, there is road rage and aggression and the area is an accident waiting to happen. There is limited opportunity to get through, you can't see and you have to just 'go for it'. It also encourages short bursts of speeding as you need to get through quickly in case a car is coming the other way. If the traffic calls move better the road would be safer for cyclists and pedestrians too.

Things felt much safer when there were traffic lights up during road repairs - maybe there could be lights which only operated at school start and finish times. Removing all parking makes delivering children by car impossible, and we all need to do this sometimes!! Removing parking would also speed traffic up and increase the chances of fatal accidents. Better signage is essential, the existing signs are effectively camouflaged. Heavy lorries and trucks need to be dissuaded from using this route - the road is wholly unsuitable for them.

First, this survey is biased towards the issue of the school - what about the long suffering residents of Church Street? Second, the issue isn't just outside the school but along the length of Church Street from Rectory Farm to Peacocks when approaching from the west. There are two primary issues - maintaining a low speed rate along Church Street - which should be 20 mph during the school week - and the present parking allocation. The two arguments are regularly intermingled and therefore never resolved. The parking pattern along Church Street needs to be changed because it is simply dangerous for Residents, children and commuters. This needs proper consultation with all those affected by the present zoning. The speed issue needs professional input - surely Cambridgeshire Highways have encountered situations like this and can offer alternatives that DO NOT require parked vehicles to act as barriers to speeding?

6/1/2015 9:45 AMView respondent's answers

Traffic calming, currently this is achieved by the parking which restricts the speed of cars during peak flow.This is not calming for the car users though.

The major need is for increased safety of the children at the school. My suggested solutions are: 1. Introduce traffic light control of the traffic and make the road single lane so that traffic is only going in one direction at any given time. This would ease congestion and would enable parking to be maintained outside the church. Also by only having a single land road this would enable wider pavements. 2. Ban all HGV lorries from the road so they go round the M11 rather than cut through past the school.

Traffic lights at either end of the road may reduce the flow of traffic and may also improve the frustration of drivers when they get stuck in the road. Introducing more yellow lines is counterproductive as this will increase the speed of traffic in the road making it more dangerous for walking/cycling young children, and it would mean that when parents do need to collect children in a vehicle - that they cannot. Restriction of traffic on this stretch of road - to only school traffic - at peak times may be the way to go? Rising bollards and restricted access might be used? There are problems with all of these proposals - there is no other through route from Little Shelford, and the residents oppose many of the proposals as being 'out of keeping' with a Shelford asthetic.

Try this: Drive from Lt Shelford and stop with the school on your left, at the the small brick wall between the school drive and church. At this point you can clearly see if any traffic is coming, but we all stop 3 yards on where the first car is parked, often to allow the cars following you space to tuck in behind otherwise they block it up. Your view is now completely blind and pulling out it's 50/50 as to whether the road is clear. If not, both cars facing each other now have everyone moving up behind them, and it then takes a long time to untangle, all the while cars sit there concentrating their pollutants at child height. Mark road with white line outside viewing spot outside the school, with words 'stop here, look'. This stops the cars going a few yards further and having no view. In order that the cars behind don't block the way 2 parking spots maybe removed outside the thatch property next to the school.

The solution won't be through 1 element. A large number of small changes would make a difference. 1) make it yellow lines along a greater part of the road outside the church as the parked cars make the ducking in and out by vehicles very dangerous and the road far too narrow for traffic going jn both directions. 2) this needs to be combined with traffic calling measures to stop speeding cars eg 20 zone signs that light up asking people to slow down if they go too fast and speed bumps. 3) maybe the yellow lines don't apply on Sundays so that church goers can get to church.

I think that there should be traffic lights to help with the flow of the traffic and therefore prevent the regular road rage that occurs frequently outside the school which in turn creates a very dangerous situation for pedestrians with angry drivers often making dangerous manoeuvres such as mounting the pavement. These could be operational at peak traffic times of day rather than all the time if necessary. There needs to be improved signage to indicate the presence of the school and also speed restrictions of 20 miles per hour as there are at so many schools throughout the country.

All of the traffic flow problems are caused by vehicles parking outside the church and school. If this is prohibited then traffic flow will be improved.

Suggest reviewing case studies / examples of other schemes which are similar to find a workable solution as this cannot be a unique problem in the country or even the county.

5/19/2015 9:35 AMView respondent's answers

Most of the parking spaces need to be removed (or put out of use during peak times) to improve flow (reserving some spaces for disabled users or those with babies). Then significant measures need to be taken to keep car speed along the route to an absolute minimum. A pedestrian crossing should also be considered, along with measures to make pavement walking safer ( ie- wider pavements and railings). However, from Little Shelford end, if flow of cars along the route improves, I feel an alternative route is needed for all other road users. The road is simply too narrow for all users to be safe.

Having thought thru lots of options the only real solution I think is to install traffic lights (perhaps only on at peak times if this is cheaper) to help drivers navigate Church street which is a bad visibility stretch (even great drivers get caught up here) without issue. Removing parking/painting double yellows without enforcing a reduced speed limit would endanger pedestrians, punish residents and speed traffic up even more. A worrying thought for the school kids and especially the doddery preschoolers. It would be a great shame If this is considered a necessary option, but if so then a 20mph speed limit is absolutely essential - Trauma from a 20mph car is far less severe than from one going 30mph - a reduced speed limit is needed already outside the school in my opinion (and the village centre, we should be aiming to slow down the ever growing numbers of cars in villages). Also better approach-signage to drivers that there is a school coming, at present there is one very mouldy old sign! I know we need to preserve the leafy charm of shelford but the safety issue with growing traffic is such that a compromise should be made. We need more visible safety school signs & road painting warnings. Finally railings to protect school children should be put up if some parking has to be removed and if so it should be done with the thought of helping head to head cars use the necessary space in which to back up to get the traffic flow moving again. However, I feel strongly that the parked cars provide a very necessary and ideal barrier in protecting school children from fast flowing traffic on the rush hour drive into work past the school. Particularly from large vehicles such as lorries or buses which just don't work on small back roads weaving in and out of parked cars, and can't reverse safely either when stuck. Can these be restricted at all?

Double yellow lines or restricted parking at peak times. Given that the distance for admissions to the school barely exceeds 0.5 miles I would have thought it more than possible for the majority of parents/carers to walk or cycle their children to school.

A while back there were gas works on Church Street and a traffic light system was operating for a few weeks. It added a couple of minutes to the journey time between the Shelfords, but it meant there were no crazy incidents - eg people refusing to back up or pushing through when there wasn't a space etc - at all. the traffic flowed well and everyone got to where they needed to be with the minimum of frustration and risk. Personally I would support this over any of the other ideas suggested so far.
