The George Roundabout - Fernside Road
Poole town centre to/from Ferndown and Wimborne
Public consultation for sustainable travel plans was undertaken between 10 May to 14 June 2021 and responses are available here.
Proposals include:
- A new protected one-way cycle track on the western side of High Street North
- A signed quiet route along St Mary’s Road with current restrictions to vehicle movement remaining at the junction of Garland Road and St Mary’s Road
- An existing crossing on Longfleet Road relocated to near Shaftesbury Road
- A new protected cycle track on both sides of Longfleet Road between Shaftesbury Road and the Bird’s Hill Road/Garland Road junctions
- Upgrades to existing crossing points
- More priority for cyclists and pedestrians at the junctions of Longfleet Road with Shaftesbury Road and Parish Road, and the junction of St Mary’s Road with Garland Road
- Upgrades to the junctions of St Mary’s Road and Longfleet Road with Fernside Road, including new traffic lights, new crossings and improvements to existing crossing points
- Changes to traffic signal timings at the junction of Longfleet Road and Fernside Road to improve bus journey times
