Welcome to the Highways Service Information Centre
A series of ‘Safer, Greener, Healthier’ interim traffic measures in Colchester to create more shared space for walking and cycling will be introduced starting from 15 June.
20mph limits, temporary barriers and signs providing shared spaces will be introduced on the High Street, Queen Street/St Botolph’s, Head Street, St Johns Street and other town centre roads, and on the vital corridor between the main rail station and town centre, including North Station Road and North Hill.
The scheme is based on routes that meet and cross in the town centre – one running from West to East and the other from North to South. The routes connect to the proposed Rapid Transit System (and segregated cycleway) which will link the Park & Ride adjacent to the A12, North of the town, to the town centre and to the emerging new garden community in North-East Colchester.
The North-South corridor starts at Bruff Close/ Mile End Road where there have been recent improvements to the cyclepath, and finishing at the proposed Rapid Transit route. It will be - made up of a fully segregated cycle track from the Park & Ride which will meet the corridor:
The West-East corridor begins at the junction of Spring Lane and Church Lane with Lexden Road, ending at East Hill:
