B-Dudley Port-Sedgley Road East Junction
Problems
The Dudley Port Junction is an area that suffers heavy congestion in the morning and evening peak hours.
Pedestrian crossing facilities are inadequate and cars park along both arms of the Sedgley Road East
contributing to delay along this section for both buses and general traffic.
Proposals
- The introduction of dedicated parking lay-bys on Sedgley Road East on both sides of the junction.
- Formalise an area of parking to the west of the junction to provide formal offstreet parking.
- A parking lay-by to be provided to the least of the junction, partly in the footway, to provide further parking.
- Red route controls through the junction to control parking on-street.
- Bus stop upgrades to Bus Showcase standard to improve access to buses.
- Improved cycle facilities through the provision of advanced cycle stop lines.
- High friction surfacing on approaches to the junction.
- Provide controlled crossing facilities for pedestrians.
Possible benefits
- Improved pedestrian facilities to provide safer crossing points.
- Improved traffic flow.
- Improved parking management and formalised parking facilities off-street.
- Improved safety for cyclists.
