Traffic volume and speed is extremely high. Likely to be through-traffic, rather than just local residents. Road should also ideally be 20mph, rather than 30mph zone (but unenforced)
Cowards Lane appears to be used as a rat run by High Street traffic. It currently has a weight restruction. The lane is very narrow and winding with no footway. It is part of a National Cycle route. It is used by cyclists, horses and … [more]

Zebra crossing required, the one on the other side of the roundabout is dangerous as many drivers travel too fast and are unable to see pedestrians crossing while they're driving round the corner next to Butt's Close
Prohibit parking on this end to allow for 2 cars to pass and also leave enough room for Refuse trucks to pass
No through access sign required for Gaping Lane with unsuitable for vehicles + access for Cricket/Hockey club directional signs via Bedford Street/Lavender Way
Too many oversized vehicles get stuck at the bridge and have to turn back. Put more signs/sensor warning lights closer to the Cambridge Rd crossroads.
Oakfield Ave is too narrow for the traffic using it. Broadmead was the intended link when estate was built as it is wider but people use OA. Restrict use by Van's or hgv's
Reduce road to single lane, traffic light controlled. This would leave plenty of room for cycling and pedestrians
Speeding cars make this Road dangerous for pedestrians and cycles. Provide vehicle speed cameras and speed breakers along Bedford Road.
Access to Kingshott slows down traffic. Require school to use rear gate for school pick ups and drop offs and deliveries.
One way for vehicles along Highbury Road (going uphill) and 20mph. Bi-directional cycle lanes with cycle parking at all schools in the area.
Make Highbury Road and the Avenue a one-way system, reducing traffic jam from school runs and making it safer for people to use cycles instead.
The Avenue is too narrow for parked vehicles on both sides, merging 2-way traffic on a single lane, creating chaos ( especially for St Andrew's school run). Make the Avenue one-way (complementary to Highbury Road, as well as Chiltern Road), … [more]
Highbury Road is too narrow for two-way traffic AND parked vehicles. Make Highbury Road one-way (together with the Avenue) for vehicles and 2-way cycling.
A505 can't be closed but Ickleford Road could be, in the Dutch style if it were closed at this end local traffic could still access from the Periwinkle Lane end. Usually this road is crowded with heavy traffic and many people parking from … [more]
Hermitage Road/Bancroft/Brand St are used as shortcuts by cars rather than as a destination. Council car parks exist on their South (st marys, portmill), east (QMT), North (Bancroft) and West (Lairage). Let public transport, taxis and … [more]
This very narrow lane is being used as a shortcut by cars, and is of little benefit to local residents. Also used as a shortcut for Kingschott, disrupting the flow on A602. St Ippolyts to Hitchin: use B656. Also use Ashbrook Lane (more … [more]
In the model of Dutch cities, traffic is pushed to the outskirts and prevent cars cutting through. Let buses, taxis and cycle through. 20 mph.
