Why are we consulting?

We would like to hear your views on the scheme proposals to help us develop the plans in more detail.

How much will it cost?

The cost of the scheme will depend on which options are taken forward but is likely to be approximately £1.5 million. £1.05 million of funding is being provided by the Heart of the South West Local Enterprise Partnership. The relatively limited funding means it is unlikely that major changes to junction layouts e.g. that require road widening, will be delivered through this scheme.

How can I find out more?

If you would like further information please come along to one of our exhibitions where staff will be available to talk you through the options and answer any questions.

When will work begin?

It is expected that the work will start in 2018.

The B3250 Mannamead Road is a busy route for both public and private transport with 20,000 vehicles using it daily. It is a vital part of the city’s transport network, connecting communities to the district centre at Mutley Plain, the A38 and the city centre. It also forms part of the key bus corridor linking the city centre with the north of the city. Mannamead Road is often congested, with motorists and bus services experiencing delays during peak periods. In addition to this, many of the traffic signal junctions along its length are ageing and operate poorly when compared to modern day equipment.The Mannamead Road Junction Improvement Scheme will aim to reduce congestion along this busy route. This will result in improved journey times for motorists and the service reliability of buses. The plans will focus on the replacement of

out-dated traffic signals, which are more prone to failure or malfunction, with modern more efficient equipment at junctions along Mannamead Road, from Torr Lane to Mutley Plain. In addition the scheme will also aim to improve road safety by upgrading pedestrian crossings and providing new or improved cycle facilities. The scheme also provides the opportunity to amend junction layouts or priorities if it can be demonstrated the changes will provide worthwhile benefits to road users (including cyclists and pedestrians) and the changes are affordable.

Remove parking bays to allow two southbound lanes forall traffic on approach to junction (ie to improve

southbound capacity at junction and delays to southboundtraffic). It is predicted this would improve journey times for

all users including buses by 48 secs in AM peak and 47secs in PM peak

Remove parking restrictions andprovide new parking bays

Improve pedestrian facilitiesAdd pedestrian crossing as part of signal phasingAdd dropped kerbs and tactile pavingAdd kerb built-out to reduce crossing length

Replace all traffic signalequipment for College Avenue.New street lighting if required

Relocation of pedestrian crossing further south to provideadditional queuing length was considered but rejected. Thiswas because the crossing could only be relocated 3m southwithout effecting the traffic signal phasing and junction capacity
