(CLOSED) Clamp Hill Traffic Calming Scheme

Welcome to the Clamp Hill Traffic Calming Scheme engagement page.

London Borough of Harrow's engagement on traffic calming measures in Clamp Hill, Stanmore will run for six weeks from 23rd June to 3rd August 2023.

Background: 

London Borough of Harrow works closely with Transport for London (TfL) to improve road safety. This includes investigating road traffic collisions and making improvements to the road network where it is considered necessary.

Following concerns raised by local residents and ward members regarding speeding and collisions in Clamp Hill, we carried out a speed assessment and reviewed the personal injury collision data for the past three years of available records.

The high recorded speeds and number of collisions meant this location was justified to be included in the 2023/24 Local Implementation Plan programme funded by TfL.

Independent transport consultants have been commissioned to design a scheme with the aim of:

• Reducing the risk of personal injury collisions by the reduction in vehicle speeds;
• Improving pedestrian and cycle safety; and,
• Encouraging walking and cycling.

The aims of this consultation are to:

Inform the community and build awareness of the purpose and potential implications of implementing traffic calming measures in Clamp Hill;

Undertake consultation on Clamp Hill that is meaningful, inclusive and transparent to understand the community's views on potential traffic issues;

Use that feedback to inform any appropriate changes to the proposals;

To let the community know that we have listened and acted on the information they have provided.

Scheme Proposals:

These are shown on the Consultation Plan and include the following:

1. Sinusoidal Humps - Sinusoidal speed humps are similar to traditional round top humps but have an initial shallower rise. These humps reduce traffic speeds in the same way that a traditional round top hump would, whilst reducing discomfort to cyclists and bus passengers. These type of humps span across the entire width of the carriageway.
2. “At any time” waiting restrictions (double yellow lines) - these are proposed to ensure that there is adequate road space for emergency vehicles, space for turning vehicles and to regulate parking, helping to alleviate congestion issues that occur close to the Uxbridge Road roundabout.

What about the emergency services – police, fire, ambulance etc.?

The emergency services, along with other interested parties, are consulted individually for their opinion and views on the proposals.

What happens next?

All the responses received will be analysed and presented firstly to the relevant local ward councillors for feedback, and then to the Portfolio Holder for Environment and Community Safety, who will make the final decision on the scheme. If appropriate, modifications may be made to the scheme proposals. If the scheme is approved, the construction works will start Autumn/Winter 2023, subject to contractor’s availability and weather conditions.
