3 East-West Cycle Superhighway Victoria Embankment / Northumberland Avenue Consultation Response to Consultation

Executive summary Between 9 February and 29 March 2015, Transport for London (TfL) consulted on

revised proposals for the East-West Cycle Superhighway at Victoria Embankment /

Northumberland Avenue.

We received 663 responses to the consultation, of which 74% supported or partially

supported our proposals. Comments from respondents included concern about traffic

congestion as a result of the scheme, general support for the scheme, suggested

modifications to the proposals for cycling and pedestrian facilities, the impacts on

coach services and concerns about banning the right turn from Northumberland

Avenue.

After considering all responses, we intend to proceed with the scheme as set out in

the consultation documents. Commuter coach services will be able to use the

existing tour bus stop at Westminster Pier. We also intend to allow commuter

coaches to serve the Banqueting House stop on Whitehall as an alternative, subject

to discussions with Westminster City Council. This would provide another nearby

option for services affected by the removal of bus and coach stop Y on Victoria

Embankment.

Subject to the formal Traffic Order process and receiving relevant approvals, we plan

to start construction work around the Victoria Embankment / Northumberland

Avenue junction in July 2015, with completion for the East-West route planned for

spring 2016. Works will be phased to minimise impact on the traffic network and will

cater for pedestrians, cyclists and other road users as much as possible.

We will keep customers and road users informed of our plans and progress,

including writing to local residents and businesses before undertaking work in their

area. We will also provide road traffic information to help people better plan their

journeys and make informed choices about how, where and when they travel.


1. Introduction

We originally consulted on proposals for the East-West Cycle Superhighway

between 3 September 2014 and 9 November 2014. Following the September 2014

consultation, the TfL Board agreed that some changes to the proposals in the

original consultation would be subject to further consultation.

Between 9 February and 29 March 2015, we consulted on further proposals for

certain sections of the East-West Cycle Superhighway. This included revised

proposals to aid traffic flow on Victoria Embankment, including the removal or

relocation of a bus and coach stop, banning the right turn from Northumberland

Avenue to Victoria Embankment (except cyclists from the cycle track) and the

removal of a pedestrian crossing.

This document explains the processes, responses and outcomes of the consultation,

and sets out our response to issues commonly raised.

1.1 Purpose of the scheme

Feedback from the September 2014 consultation included concerns about the traffic

impact of the scheme. In response to this and following further investigations, we

proposed changes to the designs for the Victoria Embankment / Northumberland

Avenue junction that would improve its operation and reduce the impact on general

traffic.

1.2 Description of the proposals

The scheme area for the Northumberland Avenue / Victoria Embankment

consultation is part of Section 9 of the original East-West Cycle Superhighway

consultation. The scheme area includes the junction of Victoria Embankment and

Northumberland Avenue and nearby sections of both roads.

Removed bus and coach stop

To allow southbound traffic to flow more freely on Victoria Embankment

towards the busy Northumberland Avenue junction, southbound bus stop Y on

Victoria Embankment near Northumberland Avenue will be removed

Our latest analysis shows this will reduce the journey time impacts of the

proposals for general traffic on the East-West Cycle Superhighway compared

with the previous proposal

Bus and coach stop Y is currently used by TfL bus route N550 to Trafalgar

Square, Big Bus Tours, The Original Tour, coach routes 771 and 772 to


Dunstable, Leighton Buzzard and Linslade and any coaches which terminate

at Victoria or Vauxhall

Coach routes 771 and 772 and any coaches which terminate at Victoria or

Vauxhall will be able to use other stops on Victoria Embankment between

Bridge Street and Horse Guards Avenue and the Banqueting Hall stop on

Whitehall, subject to discussions with Westminster City Council

Banned right turn from Northumberland Avenue into Victoria Embankment

(except cycles from the cycle track)

Banning the right turn from Northumberland Avenue into Victoria

Embankment for all vehicles except cyclists using the cycle track will help to

keep traffic moving more freely by allowing southbound traffic on Victoria

Embankment to pass through the junction at the same time as traffic turning

left out of Northumberland Avenue


proposals for general traffic on the East-West Cycle Superhighway compared

with the previous proposal

Our latest traffic counts show a maximum of 101 vehicles per hour turning

right from Northumberland Avenue into Victoria Embankment in the morning

and evening peaks (excluding cycles), compared to a maximum of 603

vehicles per hour turning left from Victoria Embankment into Northumberland

Avenue in the morning and evening peaks (excluding cycles)

Removing the pedestrian crossing on Victoria Embankment north of

Northumberland Avenue

Removing the pedestrian crossing on Victoria Embankment north of

Northumberland Avenue (under Hungerford Bridge) will help keep traffic

flowing more freely through the eastern section of the junction

Alternative pedestrian crossings are available either side of the junction -

approximately 40 metres south of the junction and approximately 65 metres

north (outside Embankment station). These will remain in place


proposals for general traffic compared with the previous proposal

Proposed changes to parking and loading on Victoria Embankment

The motorcycle parking on the western side of Victoria Embankment south of

Northumberland Avenue will be relocated to the island between the cycle


track and the carriageway. The new bay will be the same size as the existing

bay (35 metres)

The riverside loading bay south of Northumberland Avenue will be extended

from 11 metres to 15 metres and inset into the segregating island. Operating

hours will be reduced, with no loading between 7am – 10am and 4pm – 7pm

A new 20 metre inset loading bay will be provided north of bus stop Y. This

will also operate with no loading between 7am – 10am and 4pm – 7pm

We are extending the time during which vehicles are allowed to stop and load

in these loading bays from 20 minutes to 40 minutes

Segregated two-way cycle track replaces traffic lanes on Victoria Embankment

The cycle track will be at carriageway level on the eastern side of the road

and will be between 3.2 and 4.3 metres wide

The cycle track will be separated from other traffic by a kerbed island between

1.2 and 3 metres wide

No coloured surfacing will be used

This will replace two traffic lanes (one southbound and one northbound) on

Victoria Embankment

Cycle lane replaces one eastbound traffic lane at Northumberland Avenue

junction

The cycle lane will be advisory across the entrance to Embankment Place to

allow vehicles to access this side road

The mandatory cycle lane to the south of Embankment Place will be

separated from other traffic by a kerbed island 1.2 metres wide at the junction

with Victoria Embankment

The lane will be between 1.5 and 2 metres wide

No coloured surfacing will be used

The footway on the south eastern corner will be reduced by 3.8 metres in

order to retain the left-turning traffic lane into Northumberland Avenue.

A minimum footway width of 4.4 metres will remain

Pedestrian island and signalised cycle crossing replaces one southbound

traffic lane on Victoria Embankment south of Northumberland Avenue

The pedestrian island will be 3 metres wide to provide a large enough waiting

area for pedestrians using the signalised crossings across the cycle track and

Victoria Embankment


Dedicated traffic lights for cycles will allow cyclists to cross the

Northumberland Avenue junction to join and leave the East-West Cycle

Superhighway while other traffic is held

Thames Tideway Tunnel

We are working with the Thames Tideway Tunnel project team to ensure that the

proposed design and construction programmes are coordinated.

Benefits of the scheme compared to previous proposals

Removing the right turn, pedestrian crossing and bus/coach stop will help traffic to

flow more freely on Victoria Embankment. This will reduce the journey time impacts

of the proposals for general traffic compared to the previous proposals. Details of the

proposals are available at https://consultations.tfl.gov.uk/cycling/a8130262.

1.3 Connections

There will be a signalised connection between the East-West Cycle Superhighway

and Northumberland Avenue for cyclists.

through Northumberland Avenue, Trafalgar Square and the Mall, instead of continuing

along Victoria Embankment and through Parliament Square. Westminster Living Streets

however opposed any diversion of the East-West Cycle Superhighway along


Comments on the overall East-West Cycle Superhighway scheme

Some respondents commented on the overall East-West Cycle Superhighway scheme.

Issues raised included:

Future traffic congestion as a result of the East-West Cycle Superhighway

The scheme disproportionately benefits cyclists to the disadvantage of other road

users

Opposition and negative comments

Overall support

Environmental impact

Cyclist behaviour and enforcement

Economic impact

Safety of road users

Impact on coach services

The TfL response to these and other issues raised concerning the overall East-West Cycle

Superhighway scheme is in the East-West Cycle Superhighway consultation report,

available here.

https://consultations.tfl.gov.uk/cycling/eastwest/user_uploads/csew-response-to-consultation-final-1.pdf


4. Conclusion and next steps

Having considered issues raised in consultation, TfL intends for the East-West Cycle

Superhighway at Victoria Embankment / Northumberland Avenue to proceed to

construction as set out it in the consultation material.

Commuter coaches allowed to use tour bus stops at Westminster Pier or at the Banqueting

House on Whitehall

To help address the concerns of coach passengers and operators, commuter coach

services will be able to use the existing tour bus stop at Westminster Pier. We also intend to

allow commuter coaches to serve the Banqueting House tour bus stop on Whitehall (subject

to discussions with Westminster City Council) as an alternative. Currently, only tour bus

services use this stop. However, as these services start later in the morning, the stop has

capacity to accommodate commuter coach services. This would provide an alternative

option for services affected by the removal of bus and coach stop Y on Victoria

Embankment.

We do not expect any infrastructure changes other than updating bus flags to show the new

services and there would be no significant construction work involved in making this

change. While there would be an increase in the number of coaches on Whitehall and

Horse Guards Avenue in the morning peak, a review of traffic flows shows that this would

have no significant impact on journey times for other road users.

Operators will also need to successfully update their London Service Permits, the licence

required for operators to run services outside the TfL bus network.

Construction of the East-West Cycle Superhighway at Northumberland Avenue

Subject to the formal Traffic Order process and receiving relevant approvals, we plan to

start construction work around the Victoria Embankment / Northumberland junction in July

2015, with completion planned for the East-West route in spring 2016. Works will be phased

to minimise impact on the traffic network and will cater for pedestrians, cyclists and other

road users as much as possible.

We will work to minimise disruption caused by construction work as much as possible. We

will keep customers and road users informed of our plans and progress, including writing to

local residents and businesses before undertaking work in their area. We will also provide

road traffic information to help people better plan their journeys and make informed choices

about how, where and when they travel.


Appendix A – TfL response to issues

commonly raised

This appendix contains TfL’s response to issues commonly raised as part of the

consultation on revised proposals for the East-West Cycle Superhighway at

Northumberland Avenue. Our response to issues relating to the wider route can be found in

our report on the September 2014 consultation, available at tfl.gov.uk/cycle-east-west.

Scheme design

Concerns over traffic congestion

TfL acknowledges the concerns that some organisations and individuals have expressed

over current congestion and the potential traffic impact of these proposals. Following the

response received to the consultation on the East-West Cycle Superhighway in September

2014, we made changes to the scheme to provide extra capacity for general traffic in key

areas whilst retaining a high-quality segregated cycle route suitable for use by large

numbers of cyclists. The proposals at Northumberland Avenue were one element of these

changes, and were designed to help the junction operate more efficiently.

Please see our response to the September 2014 consultation at tfl.gov.uk/cycle-east-west

for more information on changes we made to the original East-West Cycle Superhighway

proposals to reduce the impact on traffic.

Although our traffic modelling analysis still indicates that the scheme will mean longer

journeys for some road users, this analysis does not account for our other planned

measures to manage traffic in London, including increased enforcement in areas at risk of

congestion, influencing freight and servicing activity to reduce traffic volumes at busy times

and locations, and improved driver information to enable more accurate journey planning.

We expect that these measures will collectively have a positive impact on predicted journey

time changes. We are also investing further in advanced traffic signal technology to allow us

to better manage traffic depending on differing conditions at any given time.

Response to alternative cycle facility design suggestions

Visibility of cycle markings

As part of the proposed changes here, we will improve light levels under Hungerford Bridge.

This will ensure cycle markings are clearly visible after dark, as well as improving the urban

realm.

http://www.tfl.gov.uk/cycle-east-west



Width of cycle track

Five respondents commented on the width of the cycle track. We have generally designed

the two-way cycle track to be between 3 and 4 metres wide. The track has been designed

to allow cyclists to overtake one another wherever possible. The nature of the two-way track

also offers cyclists the flexibility to use the other side of the track to overtake when there are

no oncoming cyclists.

Mandatory cycle lane on Northumberland Avenue

Some respondents suggested that mandatory or segregated cycle lanes be provided on

Northumberland Avenue. We intend to proceed with our current proposal to provide a

mandatory cycle lane on the approach to the segregated island at the Northumberland

Avenue / Victoria Embankment junction.

We intend to provide an advisory cycle lane across Embankment Place in line with our

proposals. This will allow turning vehicles to cross the cycle track, as vehicles are not

permitted to enter a mandatory cycle lane.

Provision for cyclists to turn right from Victoria Embankment

To cross into Northumberland Avenue, cyclists will wait in a holding area 1.8 metres deep

and over 12 metres wide. We believe this will provide enough space for all cyclists wishing

to make this movement.

Some respondents raised a concern about the width of the waiting area for cyclists turning

right from Victoria Embankment into Northumberland Avenue. We have modelled cyclist

movements at junctions to ensure sufficient capacity exists. At the junction with

Northumberland Avenue, space is provided for waiting cyclists to turn from the track into

Northumberland Avenue, and a 3 metre gap in the segregation is proposed. This w ill be

wide enough to allow several cyclists to cross the stop line at once, while being narrow

enough to discourage vehicles from entering the cycle track.

To minimise interaction between motorists turning left into Northumberland Avenue and

cyclists on Northumberland Avenue, cyclists will turn into Northumberland Avenue from the

cycle track in a separate signal phase from motor vehicles.

Suggestion to provide Advanced Stop Lines (ASLs) or a full early-start junction

Two respondents asked for deeper ASLs or a full early-start junction. To ensure that cyclists

joining or leaving the Cycle Superhighway are separated from motor vehicles in space and

time, we intend to introduce a new phase in the traffic lights and provide a waiting area for

cyclists turning from the cycle track on Victoria Embankment into Northumberland Avenue.

A segregated lane for cyclists will be provided on Northumberland Avenue at the junction

with Victoria Embankment, which will be separately signalised from traffic. These measures


will provide a greater degree of protection for cyclists using the cycle track than ASLs or

early start junctions.

Providing a zebra crossing rather than a signalised crossing

Some respondents suggested providing zebra crossings for pedestrians crossing the cycle

track rather than the signalised crossings proposed. Because of the high volumes of

pedestrians and cyclists anticipated in the scheme area, we intend to proceed with

providing signalised crossings to help to balance the needs of all road users by allocating

green time accordingly.

Converting Whitehall Place to two-way working for cyclists Some respondents suggested Whitehall Place be made two-way for cyclists. Whitehall Place is Westminster City Council highway. This suggestion has been passed to the Council for consideration.

Impacts on different road users

19 respondents commented that the proposals were too cycle-focussed and disadvantaged other modes disproportionately in favour of cyclists. Impacts on road users are discussed below and in our responses to issues raised about specific design aspects of the scheme.

Impacts on tour bus and coach services

Some respondents who commute by coach raised concerns that removing bus and coach

stop Y would make transport interchanges more inconvenient and increase onward journey

times if commuter coaches serve alternative stops.

Our traffic modelling shows that relocating the bus and coach stop away from the approach

to the junction will help traffic to flow more freely. Currently, buses and coaches wait in the

nearside ahead traffic lane, blocking the ahead traffic flow at this busy location. Therefore,

we need to relocate the stop in order to help traffic flow more freely once the Cycle

Superhighway is introduced.

Commuter coaches allowed to use tour bus stops at Westminster Pier or at the Banqueting

House on Whitehall

We acknowledge the concerns of coach passengers and operators and therefore intend to

allow commuter coaches to serve the tour bus stop at Westminster Pier, which is

approximately 150m from the entrance to Westminster Station. We also intend to allow

commuter coaches to serve the Banqueting Hall tourist bus stop on Whitehall as an

alternative, which is approximately 300 metres from the entrance to Westminster station

and 430 metres from Charing Cross Station (subject to discussions with Westminster City

Council). Currently, only tourist bus services use this stop. However, as these services start


later in the morning, the stop has capacity to accommodate commuter coach services. This

would provide an alternative option for services affected by the removal of bus and coach

stop Y on Victoria Embankment.

We do not expect any infrastructure changes other than updating bus flags to show the new

services and there would be no significant construction work involved in making this

change. While there would be an increase in the number of coaches on Whitehall and

Horse Guards Avenue in the morning peak, a review of traffic flows shows that this would

have no significant impact on journey times for other road users.

Land-side (northbound) coach stop on Victoria Embankment

The land-side (northbound) coach stop on Victoria Embankment will remain, allowing coach

passengers to use this stop as they currently do.

Coach bays and parking

Some respondents suggested the removal of coach bays on Victoria Embankment and

requested that bays are policed appropriately.

Coach bays on Victoria Embankment provide important pick up, set down and parking for

the coach industry, supporting commuters, tourism and businesses in central London. The

proposals for this consultation do not affect the previously announced changes to coach

parking set out in the September 2014 consultation report. We are working with local

stakeholders and the coach industry to provide alternative coach parking near Victoria

Embankment for bays that have been removed.

Land-side coach stops near Embankment Pier will remain, providing interchange with river

transport for passengers travelling eastbound. The closest westbound stops for interchange

with river services are at Westminster Pier and Temple.

Coach parking bays are managed by Westminster City Council and so we have passed any

comments relating to these bays to the Council.

Banned right turn from Northumberland Avenue into Victoria Embankment

We intend to proceed with banning the right turn from Northumberland Avenue into Victoria

Embankment for all vehicles except cyclists from the cycle track. This would help keep

traffic moving more freely by allowing southbound traffic on Victoria Embankment to pass

through the junction at the same time as traffic turning left out of Northumberland Avenue.

Our latest analysis shows this would help to reduce the journey time impacts of the

proposals for general traffic on the East-West Cycle Superhighway compared with the

previous proposal.


Traffic volume

Our latest traffic counts show a maximum of 101 vehicles per hour turning right from

Northumberland Avenue into Victoria Embankment in the morning and evening peaks

(excluding cycles), compared to a maximum of 603 vehicles per hour turning left from

Victoria Embankment into Northumberland Avenue in the morning and evening peaks

(excluding cycles). The junction has been designed to ensure all vehicles could turn right

under police supervision when required by special events, such as the closure of Whitehall.

Removal of pedestrian crossing under Hungerford Bridge;

request for a straight-across crossing south of Northumberland Avenue

Some respondents opposed the removal of the pedestrian crossing while others were in

favour. We intend to proceed with removing the pedestrian crossing under Hungerford

Bridge. Our latest pedestrian counts indicate this crossing is used less than the alternative

signalised pedestrian crossings 40 metres south and 65 metres north of this crossing.

Removing this crossing will allow traffic to flow more freely through the junction than under

the previous proposal.

Some respondents asked for the retained crossing south of Northumberland Avenue to be

converted to a ‘straight-across’ crossing, meaning pedestrians would cross in a single

movement. However, it is not possible to provide a straight-across crossing here without

reducing traffic capacity and increasing delay for all road users.

We feel that removing this crossing will help to reduce journey times and achieve the best

balance for different road users’ needs.

Pedestrian countdown

Pedestrian countdown is not suitable at these staggered crossings. More than one

countdown display would be visible to some waiting pedestrians, which could result in some

pedestrians looking at the wrong unit and cause them to cross unsafely.

We will closely monitor the use of pedestrian crossings here following construction.

Providing zebra crossings rather than signalised crossings

Some respondents suggested providing a zebra crossing at the Victoria Embankment /

Northumberland Avenue junction rather than the signalised crossing proposed. Because of

the high volumes of pedestrians and cyclists anticipated in the scheme area, we intend to

proceed with providing signalised crossings to help to balance the needs of all road users

by allocating green time accordingly.


Comments on pedestrian crossings across the wider East-West Cycle Superhighway

Our approach to pedestrian crossings across the East-West Cycle Superhighway is

described in the response to the September 2014 consultation.

Reduced footway

Respondents to both this consultation and the previous East-West Cycle Superhighway

consultation questioned the loss of footway at the corner of Victoria Embankment Gardens.

We have carefully reviewed the designs and are satisfied that enough space is retained for

pedestrians. The current footway width is approximately 8.1 metres and we are proposing

to reduce this to 4.6 metres. This is still in excess of the minimum width of two metres

recommended in design guidance. Whilst we regret having to reduce footway space here,

it is necessary to make room for the cycle track whilst retaining enough space for other

traffic.

Proposed loading bays

We are not planning any further changes to the loading arrangements and intend to

proceed with the proposals previously consulted on. We will extend the riverside loading

bay south of Northumberland Avenue from 11 metres to 15 metres and inset it into the

segregating island. We will also provide a new 20 metre inset loading bay north of bus and

coach stop Y. Loading can take place anytime except 7-10am & 4-7pm Monday-Sunday.

Movements from loading bays across cycle tracks are anticipated to be more frequent and

made with larger loads than from parking bays, so we have ensured operating times will

avoid peak hours for cycle flows. To address concerns that additional time may be required

to load across the cycle track, the maximum time available for loading will be extended from

20 to 40 minutes. We are satisfied that it will be possible to load safely across the cycle

track whilst keeping cyclists and delivery staff safe. We are working closely with the freight

industry and the Health and Safety Executive to agree mutually satisfactory procedures.

Motorcycle parking

Currently, there is 35 metres of motorcycle parking exists on the northern side (land-side) of

Victoria Embankment, west of the junction with Northumberland Avenue. We will proceed

with the proposal to relocate this by providing a 35 metre long motorcycle parking bay inset

into the cycle segregation island, slightly west of the existing location, opposite the

Tattershall Castle. The parking bay would be available 24 hours every day, as its operation

is not expected to impede traffic flow.



Urban realm improvements

To improve the urban realm and ensure we meet British and European lighting standards,

we are investigating ways of improving the lighting under Hungerford Bridge. This would

improve safety for all road users in this location and provide a more pleasant journey for

those travelling under the bridge. We would also remove the pedestrian guard rail at this

location, to help reduce an “urban motorway” feel.

Cycle parking

We also intend to provide adequate cycle parking under the bridge, and at other locations

on Victoria Embankment.

Trees

This proposal would have no impact on trees in the immediate vicinity.

Policy issues

Value for money of proposals

Compared to the proposals consulted on in September 2014, there would be minimal extra

cost involved in delivering the proposals set out in this report.

Our response to concerns about the value for money of the overall plans for the East-West

Cycle Superhighway can be found in our response to the September 2014 consultation

(insert link). Relevant information is also available in the papers from the meeting of the TfL

Board on 4 February 2015, where proposals for the route were discussed and approved.

Potential East-West Cycle Superhighway safety benefits

There is also a strong safety case for making these changes. Our collision data shows that

there were 203 collisions involving injury to cyclists on the East West route - 33% of total

collisions along the route between July 2011 and February 2014.

Through use of segregation kerbs and providing dedicated cycle signal phases at junctions,

the route is expected to substantially reduce the interactions between cyclists and motor

traffic and the existing number of collisions.

Rationale for the segregated cycle track

We consider the type of full segregation provided on the East-West route is appropriate and

necessary considering the characteristics of the roads used. Physically separating cyclists


https://www.tfl.gov.uk/corporate/publications-and-reports/board-papers



from motorists would address one of the main barriers to cycling by removing the fear of

interaction with traffic.

The concept of a segregated cycle track on Victoria Embankment formed a key part of the

September 2014 consultation on the overall proposals for the East-West Cycle

Superhighway. Our full response to comments about the design of the cycle track can be

found at tfl.gov.uk/cycle-east-west.

Concerns proposals would adversely impact businesses and the wider economy

The changes at Northumberland Avenue have been designed to ensure the East-West

Cycle Superhighway has a lesser impact on general traffic compared to the proposal

published in September 2014.

The resulting improvement in predicted journey times address some of the concerns raised

about the impact that longer journey times might mean for businesses and the wider

economy. We will continue our work with the freight industry and businesses to ensure

deliveries across London can be made safely and efficiently, including aiding the re-timing

and consolidation of deliveries.

While some businesses and business groups retained concerns about the revised

proposals, others expressed support for the revised proposals and the East-West Cycle

Superhighway in general, noting the benefits that it would bring to staff, customers and to

London more generally.

Concerns about cyclist behaviour

TfL acknowledges concerns raised about cyclist behaviour, although our research shows

that most cyclists ride responsibly, and that cyclists are no more likely to disobey road rules

than other road users. Approximately 50 per cent of offences reported are committed by car

drivers and motorcycle riders, 26 per cent by commercial vehicle drivers and 24 per cent by

cyclists. Statistics on road traffic collisions in Greater London show the number of injuries

and fatalities for pedestrians in collisions involving cyclists are many times fewer than those

involving motor vehicles.

TfL promotes adherence to the Highway Code by all road users and encourages

responsible cycling and mutual respect between cyclists and other road users. We work to

eliminate offences such as jumping red lights, cycling on the pavement and cycling at night

without lights. We do this using police enforcement and education programmes, as well as

thorough marketing and engagement campaigns.

We recognise that some pavement cyclists break the law to avoid the dangers of motor

traffic. However, we anticipate that providing dedicated and safe space for cyclists will

discourage people from riding on pavements. Providing dedicated space for cyclists can

also help other road users by letting them know where to expect high volumes of cyclists.



The Cycle Safety Team will patrol all new Cycle Superhighways when they open,

encouraging appropriate behaviour by all road users and enforcing compliance. The team

engages in enforcement of all road users.

Operation Safeway

TfL also works with the Metropolitan Police on Operation Safeway, which sees up to 1,000

officers deployed at around 100 junctions, at least two days every month. High visibility

officers use a combination of both enforcement and engagement to tackle dangerous illegal

behaviour by all road users, including motorists and non-motorists. Locations are chosen by

analysing collision data to determine those most at risk of killed and serious injured

collisions (KSIs).

The results from Operation Safeway show that significantly more motorists are enforced

against than cyclists. Between launch in November 2013 and January 2015, over 15,000

FPNs have been given to motorists, and 5,000 to cyclists. The most common offences

where motorists were issued FPNs are contravening traffic signals (this would include

crossing an advanced stop line), using a phone while driving, and failing to wear a seatbelt.

The majority of cycling FPNs were issued for contravening traffic signals, cycling on the

footway, and using a pedal cycle without lights.

Cyclists paying road tax

The maintenance of roads in the UK is funded through general taxation and not through

specific taxes on road users, such as Vehicle Excise Duty. Therefore, most cyclists already

contribute to the cost of maintaining roads. Vehicle Excise Duty is levied on individual

vehicles and the amount payable is dependent on the levels of emissions produced by a

vehicle. Vehicles that produce no emissions do not have to pay Vehicle Excise Duty.

Therefore, if such a tax were applied to bicycles, they would be exempt from paying the

duty. Vehicle Excise Duty does not contribute to the cost of road maintenance.

Mobility scooters in cycle lanes

Mobility scooters are not allowed in cycle lanes under UK law. This is not proposed to change as part of the East-West Cycle Superhighway.


Construction issues

Thames Tideway Tunnel

We are working with the Thames Tideway Tunnel project team to ensure that the proposed design and construction programmes are coordinated.

Trialling facilities before full build

It is not possible to trial facilities of the East-West Cycle Superhighway. The various

elements of the scheme as a whole – including traffic signal timings, junction layouts,

carriageway width and priorities and banned turns – have been designed to fit together, and

it is not possible to change these temporarily to replicate conditions that would exist if the

Cycle Superhighway was in place.

We will closely monitor and evaluate the impacts of the proposals as they are implemented, including the behaviour and volume of roads users.

Alternative route suggestions

Some respondents suggested alternative routes the East-West Cycle Superhighway.

During the feasibility stage, a number of route options were considered, as described in our

response to the September 2014 consultation.

Environmental effects of the East-West Cycle Superhighway The Victoria Embankment / Northumberland Avenue junction forms part of the overall

proposals for the East-West Cycle Superhighway route. An environmental evaluation has

been completed for the East-West route, incorporating independent advice on anticipated

air quality and noise effects, based upon the initial traffic modelling results. The

environmental evaluations follow TfL Surface Transport’s Project Environmental Evaluation

procedure, part of its Environmental Management System. Where applicable, the

environmental evaluations are guided by the Department for Transport’s Analysis Guidance

(TAG) and Design Manual for Roads and Bridges (DMRB).

The environmental evaluation concludes that the proposals support a number of local,

regional and national policies which aim to encourage cycling and the use of more

sustainable modes of transport. The project is also likely to result in localised benefits,

particularly in terms of improved noise and air quality conditions as a result of improved

traffic flows at certain locations.

Air and noise

The traffic data used in the assessment of the East-West Cycle Superhighway route

covered a large part of London so that the effect of traffic diverting onto an alternative route



could be considered. Total London-wide emissions are negligible for the East-West route.

Some localised noise and air quality disbenefits may be realised as a result of changes to

traffic flows at certain locations. However, the changes in traffic flows will redistribute air

quality and noise emissions across the study area but will not increase overall emission

levels. On the East-West route, the NOx, PM10 and CO2 emissions are in fact expected to

experience a net decrease across the overall study area - albeit by a negligible amount.

As outlined above, we have revised our proposals to improve traffic flow on the route,

including the changes at Northumberland Avenue. The assessment does not take account

of these revisions. However, improvements to traffic flow are not expected to result in

detrimental impacts to air and noise.

More information on our evaluation of the environmental effects of the proposals is

available as part of the submission to the TfL Board meeting on 4 February 2015.

Response to other issues raised in relation to overall plans for

the East-West Cycle Superhighway

The overall proposals for the East-West Cycle Superhighway were consulted on in

September 2014. Following that consultation, we decided to proceed with the route,

although with some changes to reduce the journey time impact on motor traffic. The banned

turn and removed pedestrian crossing and bus/coach stop at Northumberland Avenue were

a part of these changes developed in response to the previous consultation. We consulted

again on these specific changes to ensure we had as good an understanding as possible of

how they might affect other road users.

Our response to more general issues around the introduction of the East-West Cycle

Superhighway can be found in our response to the September 2014 consultation. Relevant

information is also available in the papers from the meeting of the TfL Board on 4 February

2015, where proposals for the route were discussed and approved.

Appendix B – Summary of stakeholder

responses

Response from Westminster City Council

Westminster City Council neither opposes nor supports the proposals but expressed

comments and concerns about the proposals, including:

Safety issues for cyclists due to:

Proposed traffic signal arrangements and control of cycle movements could cause

safety and operational issues

Obstruction from waiting cyclists could cause a rear-end collision risk

Cyclists making tight turns at speed to merge

Waiting in the carriageway

Other comments included:

There could be greater opportunities to improve the public realm, including by

altering the course of the Cycle Superhighway to use more of the median area

The safety risk to pedestrians crossing informally is likely to increase

Concern over narrow track width at what could be the busiest section the route

Westminster City Council also provided technical comments on preferred signs and

markings.

Westminster City Council also responded to the TfL Road Safety Audit (RSA) for Victoria

Embankment.

Responses from emergency services

London Fire Brigade (LFB): Partially supports the revised proposal, noting that it supports

the Mayor’s Vision for Cycling and recognises the benefits the proposed changes will bring

to London. The LFB encourages its staff to choose more sustainable forms of transport,

including cycling.

The LFB requested:

Access to the high-level traffic modelling to assess the cumulative impact of TfL’s

plans on resource deployment

Detailed traffic modelling – covering both construction and the finished scheme -

relating to the scheme’s impact along with any associated mitigation

A detailed programme of works for construction and TfL’s mitigation arrangements


Traffic management orders or other regulatory measures,should not impede the

Brigade’s core service delivery functions

Education and enforcement to ensure appropriate emergency service access and

egress is maintained to all sites and properties affected by the scheme, at all stages

Responses from businesses and business groups

Arete Research: Supports the revised proposal, believing it will make cycling safer and

London greener and healthier.

Burrell Architects Ltd: Supports the revised proposal as it will make cycling safer.

Capital Generation Partners: Supports with no comments.

Crispin Hughes Photographer: Supports with no comments.

Crying Sky: Supports the revised proposal, with no further comments.

Hotsauce TV Ltd: Supports the revised proposal, making no comments.

Indigo Business Services Ltd: Supports the revised proposal, with no comments.

London Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI): Does not support or oppose the

revised proposal, although the LCCI opposes the scheme overall:

Its concerns with the original consultation remain – the process was rushed, there

was insufficient time to consider the environmental impact assessment and a full

economic impact assessment was not provided

TfL’s response to consultation does not adequately address concerns raised by

respondents, including increased journey times and impact on freight servicing and

deliveries

Estimated journey time increases along the whole route are still too high and will

impose an unacceptable burden on businesses

The LCCI is concerned that the proposed banned right hand turn from

Northumberland Avenue on to Victoria Embankment could affect up to 101 vehicles

per hour. It feels insufficient information has been provided to assess the impact of

this banned turn

LRW Design: Supports the revised proposal with no further comments.

Northbank BID: Offers its partial support to the revised proposal, commenting:

Pedestrians may wish to cross informally from the north side of Northumberland

Avenue to the river side of Victoria Embankment and this could be facilitated with a

longer central island, north of the Northumberland Avenue/Victoria Embankment

junction


A tighter turn into Northumberland Avenue, northbound from Victoria Embankment,

will help reduce traffic speeds

What is the alternative route for traffic with the right turn from Northumberland

Avenue, northbound into Victoria Embankment banned?

Spiramus Press Ltd: Supports with no comments.

Responses from bus and coach operators and industry groups

Confederation of Passenger Transport UK (CPT): Opposes the revised proposal and

had significant concerns with its impact on coach services.

Removing the bus/coach stop Y from Embankment Pier area will impact on the

journey time for commuters, who would be forced to use either previous or

subsequent stops

Retaining the stops in the eastbound direction makes symmetrical service operation

impossible

Loss of Blackfriars Pier, due to Thames Tideway works, increases the importance of

Embankment Pier. No direct coach access to this pier will be a ‘severe blow’ to the

river cruise industry

Removing the right turn from Northumberland Avenue to Victoria Embankment will

make it difficult for coaches to access the remaining bays around Westminster Pier,

with longer journeys leading to increased congestion, increased fuel consumption

and poorer air quality

Concerns that 14-metre / 15-metre coaches will not be able to make the left turn from

Blackfriars Bridge to Victoria Embankment, which increases the impact of the

banned right turn for westbound coaches

A right turn only for tour buses and coaches from Northumberland Avenue to Victoria

Embankment will substantially reduce journey length, with minimal impact on traffic

flow along the Embankment

Concerns alternative proposals for Bridge Street/Parliament Square have not yet

been made public, but could have a significant impact on the Northumberland

Avenue–Parliament Square section

Serious concerns that journey time predictions have focussed on improved

westbound journeys, with no attention paid to eastbound journeys, especially those

typically undertaken by coaches. Possible delays on eastbound journeys could

significantly impact on commuter coaches

The CPT reiterated its concerns with the overall East-West Cycle Superhighway scheme,

including the need for any alternative coach parking facilities to be in place before existing

parking is removed and the adverse impact increased journey times will have on both

commuter coaches and services for tourists and visitors.

London United Busways: Offers partial supports to the revised proposal with no

comments.


Redwing Coaches: Opposes the revised proposal, raising the follow issues:

Impacts too heavily on motor traffic, increasing journey times

Safety aspect of the segregated lanes will be diminished as they are not mandatory

and some cyclists will use the carriageway

No mention of what is planned for the coach bays on Embankment, which are crucial

for the tourist industry

Senlac Tours and Local Knowledge Tours: Partially supports the revised proposal asking

that three coach bays on the Embankment near Cleopatra's Needle are reserved for pick-

up/set-down only. It is reasonable for coaches to use longer term parking on Millbank.

Notes that a 20 minute maximum stop needs to be provided in the coach bays to avoid the

need for coaches to complete a long circuit to return if customers are not ready for pick up.

The Kings Ferry: Opposes the revised proposal for this section of the East-West Cycle

Superhighway, noting it already has serious concerns about the overall impact of the

scheme, both during and after construction.

The business strongly opposes the removal of bus stop Y on the Embankment as this will

directly impact its customers and undermine its ‘door-to-door’ service offering:

Alternative stop in Horse Guards Avenue would increase journey times for

customers, while also delaying coaches by taking them off their main route to

Victoria

Concerns the alternative stop would not cope with the large number of displaced

commuter service coaches

An alternative stop at Westminster Pier would result in even longer journey times for

customers, who would be unable to disembark at any point between Temple and the

alternative stop, including at Embankment Tube station

Congestion on the Embankment would delay coaches

The Original London Sightseeing Tour: Opposes, arguing the removal of bus and coach

stop Y - without nearby replacement - is not acceptable. It is a popular interchange for river

boats, Underground and Network Rail and is close to a footbridge across the Thames.

Highway infrastructure must allow for the reopening of the right turn from Northumberland

Avenue into Victoria Embankment, under supervision if necessary, when Whitehall is

closed.


Responses from cycling groups

CyclingWorks.London: Partially supports the revised proposal. The group noted the

following:

Cyclists turning north into Northumberland Avenue should have a protected lane

(‘Toby’ segregating bollards or a kerb)

Eastbound cars turning north into Northumberland Avenue should cross cycles at

90°

The signalised pedestrian crossings of the cycleway should be changed to a zebra

crossing and should not be staggered

London Cycling Campaign (LCC): Supports the revised proposal, noting that clear

markings are needed at the Victoria Embankment and Northumberland Avenue junction.

Sustrans: Partially supports the revised proposal, welcoming the connectivity provided for

cyclists moving between Victoria Embankment and Northumberland Avenue. It also

commented:

A provision to and from the Cycle Hire station on the footway should be created

Concerned at by the pedestrian provision at this junction

o Footway should not be reduced

o Multi-stage pedestrian crossings do not cater for pedestrian desire lines

The pedestrian crossing under the bridge should be retained.

Tower Hamlets Wheelers: Partially supports the revised proposal, noting its support for the

London Cycling Campaign submission.

Westminster Cycling Campaign: Supports the revised proposal for this section of the

Cycle Superhighway, making no further comments.

Responses from pedestrian and accessibility groups

Westminster Living Streets: Supports the revised proposal and urges TfL to reject any

suggestion for the route to be diverted via Northumberland Avenue and across Trafalgar

Square.

Wheels for Wellbeing: Supports the revised proposal for this section of the route, with no

comments.


Responses from other groups and organisations

Heritage groups

Campaign to Protect Rural England: Expressed support for the revised proposal and had

no further comments.

Universities and colleges

University of London: Supports the revised proposal. It supports improvements to cycle

infrastructure, as many of staff and students cycle.

Utilities

Thames Water: Offers partial support, but expresses concerns regarding the overlap in

construction dates for the Cycle Superhighway and the Thames Tideway Tunnel. The

highway interfaces at the Victoria Embankment Foreshore construction site which is close

to the Northumberland Avenue junction; and the potential effects on highway capacity. The

Thames Tideway Tunnel works near Northumberland Avenue include the relocation of the

Tattershall Castle in 2015, with main works commencing in 2016. Thames Water needs

vehicle access to its main works at Victoria Embankment Foreshore, as well as the

temporary and permanent location of the moored vessel, Tattershall Castle. The Cycle

Superhighway design, including the highway layouts and traffic control, needs to

accommodate these requirements.

Local interest groups

Millicent Court Management Limited: Opposes the revised proposal, concerned that it will

increase local congestion. Specific concerns were expressed regarding:

Biased approach by TfL where all three representatives at the public exhibition were

cyclists

Cycling statistics refer to peak hours only. Peak hour cycling on the Embankment is

low in any event and even lower outside peak times. The investment is not justified

by the demand

Right turn from Northumberland Avenue into Embankment should not be banned. It

is used by buses when Whitehall is blocked or closed

Traffic lights should be used to allow access to turns etc when cycling use is low,

such as at night-time

Proposed kerbs are dangerous to pedestrians

Bus stop near Embankment Pier should not be removed

Proposal does not address the problem of unlicensed taxis congregating to tout for

customers in the area of Embankment Pier

There is no attempt to make cycling safer for the pedestrian, to slow the cyclist down,

to enforce stopping at crossings or lights – or to require cyclists to hold insurance
