Please install traffic calming planters in Hamilton Road


Please install traffic calming planters in Hamilton Road
The Issue
Please install wooden planters to narrow Hamilton Road at strategic points. This will give the following advantages
- Reduce traffic speed (pollution and safety benefits)
- Emphasise to drivers that this is a residential area with a 20mph limit
- Increase plant diversity and quantity on the road with benefits to insect and birdlife
- Improved air-quality (plants are good!)
The planters could be long and narrow to stretch out into the road without taking up parking spaces
To narrow the road as much as possible but still allow wide enough access for emergency access, deliveries etc.
Positions TBC but probably just outside the ends of parking bays (maybe around the crescent crossroads and at the outer ends of Hamilton.
Only in places with no drives opposite so access not restricted
