A432 Safer Road Consultation
Bristol City Council and South Gloucestershire Council are proposing a range of safety measures, starting from where the A432 meets the A4174 in South Gloucestershire, heading southwest through three busy high streets in Downend, Fishponds and Easton.
Just over two miles of the route falls within South Gloucestershire, including Badminton Road and Downend Road, and three miles falls within the city of Bristol, including Fishponds Road and Stapleton Road.
Proposals include:
- Reducing some speed limits from 30mph to 20mph
- New and improved pedestrian crossings
- Measures to slow down traffic
- New road markings and signage
The aim of the project is to improve driver behaviour on the A432, to significantly reduce the chance of any road traffic incidents, especially serious or fatal ones.
