Causewayhead Road and Dunster Road

Background

The University Route proposal seeks to promote a reduction in vehicle speeds by narrowing residential roads and provision of street calming measures. Safe controlled crossing points will also be provided where the cycle routes span busy roads.

Currently there is a uni-directional cycle way on either side of the road along Causewayhead road which is separated from vehicle traffic by a white line. The contrast colour is faded and there is the risk of cars parking in the cycleway. The current NCN alignment turns down Dumyat Road and along Dunster Road.

unknown author5 years ago A suitable method for reducing traffic along Dunster Road is to restrict access to some of the side streets. For this project we would like to propose to make the North access to Dunster Road "exit only".What do you think about this proposal?Restrictions that can be implemented include exit only, entrance only, no right turn, no left turn, and no entry.Are there any other side streets you think would benefit from restricted access e.g. Aboyne Avenue, Ballater Drive, Ochil Road or Cleuch Road?

unknown author5 years ago A shared use path is a path built for the use of pedestrians, disabled users and cyclists to share. Those using the path must be considerate to the comfort and safety of others. Generally they are best used in traffic-free routes E.g. parks or places of recreation, but can be used in an urban context to overcome specific constraints.Our standard minimum widths for a footway is 1.8 metres, 3 metres for the cycleway and 6.5 metres for the carriageway. Along Causewayhead Road there are challenges with fitting in a segregated cycle lane due to width constraints across the road. Would you rather see the introduction of a slightly narrowed footway, cycleway and carriageway along short constrained sections (approx. 30m in length) or the introduction of a shared use path?OPTION 1 - NARROW SEGREGATION OPTION 2 - WIDE SHARED USE
