Oak Avenue Review

Overview

The Council would like your views on the existing 20mph zone and associated traffic calming measures on Oak Avenue and Courtlands Avenue in Hampton. This review is in response to a number of concerns raised regarding the crossing locations and effectiveness of the measures in place. The existing scheme was aimed at casualty reduction and was implemented in 2009.

Key scheme elements included:

The introduction of a 20mph zone
A mix of speed cushions and raised tables to slow traffic
Improvements to the mini roundabouts
Removal of the chicane in the northern section of the road

Since the scheme was installed, personal injury collisions and vehicles speeds have reduced. A summary table is provided below for your information.

	Before scheme introduced	2011	2016	Difference
North Site (85^thpercentile speed)*	29mph	28mph	27mph	-2mph
South Site (85^th percentile speed)*	31mph	26mph	26mph	-5mph
Personal injury collisions	10 in five years prior to scheme	-	7 in five years following scheme	-3 collisions over a five year period
*85^th percentile speed is the speed at which up to 85% of vehicles travel at and is the recognised speed for use when assessing a road for traffic calming.
