Introduction
The area known as 'Cumberland Residential Haven' has been
identified as having an accident and speeding problem Because of
this it has been incorporated into this year's road safety
programme. Roads within the area will be made safer by implementing
various traffic calming measures, and a 20mph zone.
This site explains the proposal in outline terms. A more detailed
plan is on display at the Canning Town Local Service Centre, 3 Beckton
Road, Canning Town, London E16.
Your views are important and can help make these improvements a
success, so please take the time to view the display at the Local
Service Centre.
Background
The Cumberland Residential Haven lies between Barking Road, the
A13, New Barn Street and Prince Regents Lane and consists of a
number of partially traffic calmed roads. The area is predominantly
residential with some businesses and a school. Between 2003 - 2006,
there have been seven (7) recorded personal injury accidents within
the area, one (1) resulting in serious injury and one (1) involving
a child pedestrian. Two (2) of the seven (7) involved speed, and
one (1) occurred on wet road conditions. Speed surveys were carried
out on the roads within the Cumberland area and the average speed
was found to be above 20mph. Introducing a 20mph speed limit
together with area wide traffic calming would reduce the average
speed of vehicles, accidents and improve road safety and
environment across the area.
Proposed Measures
To reduce the number of accidents, speed and rat running of
traffic in the area, the Council is proposing the following
measures, as shown on the reverse side of this leaflet:
- A 20mph zone with associated signing
- Entry treatments consisting of red coloured surfacing with a
20mph road marking
- Round top road humps
- Part of Holborn Road, Palmer Road and Cumberland Road to become
one way , as shown on the plan
- Speed tables at entrances to the 20mph
zone
PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE WILL NOT BE ANY LOSS OF
PARKING SPACE
Cars will be able to park on speed humps andspeed
cushions
