Overview

One of the main problems Enfield Chase has at the moment is that its design makes it natural to speed. Despite being a residential road it feels like a road designed to quickly get you around. It should be redesigned to serve as a street by:

  • Removing one grass verge to widen the path to include better mobility
  • Removing central hatching and replace with island with low shrubs
  • Moving street lights to centre of the road on island
  • Removing present traffic calming and replace with pedestrian priority to slow cars – particularly where Enfield Chase dissects the Walkway
  • Where the road is narrower remove grass verge (which is presently damaged by parked cars) and use increased road width to include a centre island
  • Ensuring it is clear there is no parking on Enfield Chase and prosecute those who park on the paths.

This will give Enfield Chase a much more residential feel rather than a fast road.


Rectory Lane to Lidl

  • Left Hand Side – Remove Grass verge from Rectory Lane to end of double yellow lines
  • Add Crossing at end of double yellow lines. Wide crossing for all non-vehicle types.
  • Right Hand Side – Remove grass verge completely and widen path to include mobility path as well as footpath.
  • Add necessary signage to indicate path is for all methods of non-vehicle mobility
  • Mobility path to be marked partitioned with white line, green tarmac and cycle / disability scooter symbols.

  • Right-Hand side keep grass verge and mark crossing as cycle route (outside Lidl pedestrian entrance / exit)
  • Widen crossing at Lidl and make level with path also constructed from a different material or a different colour
  • At an appropriate distance from the bus stop towards Providence Drive the centre road hatching should be replaced by a central reservation with low shrubs. It should allow cars to turn right out of Providence Drive and the continue after the junction.
  • Right Hand Side – Remove grass verge completely and widen path to include mobility path as well as footpath.
  • Mobility path to be marked partitioned with white line, green tarmac and cycle / disability scooter symbols.

Lidl Entrance to Providence Drive


Providence Drive to Hunters Place

  • Immediately after Providence Drive centre hatching is replaced with central reseravation
  • Street lights moved to central reservation
  • Central reservation has low shrubery
  • Right Hand Side – Remove grass verge completely and widen path to include mobility path as well as footpath. Proper markings.

  • Immediately after Hunters Place centre hatching is replaced with central reseravation
  • Street lights moved to central reservation
  • Central reservation has low shrubery
  • Right Hand Side – Remove grass verge completely and widen path to include mobility path as well as footpath. Proper markings.

Hunters Place to Traffic Calming


Traffic calming to walkway

  • TRAFFIC CALMING: Remove present setup. It is dangerous as cars heading away from Rectory Lane accelerate to get through it before they are held up by oncoming cars
  • Raise road to pavement level with different road surface (block pavers for example) from end of present calming to beyond walkway.
  • Add wide crossing at Walkway and make it clear that pedestrians have right-of-way

walkway to Scaleen and Eglinton

  • Right-Hand side remove verge and replace with mobility path
  • Left-hand side remove verge and widen road
  • Central reservation added of block pavers slightly raised to create rumble strip effect
  • Place street lighting in centre
  • Clear no parking signs on road
  • At Scarleen Close put a decent crossing in place. Don’t put a pedestrian crossing but raise road with paving blocks. and create an improved crossing for all types of mobility vehicles
  • Carry on same design all the way to Eglinton Avenue

Eglinton to Guisborough Shopping

  • Same design as Scaleen to Eglinton
  • At Guisborough Shopping a zebra crossing – raised road to path height

Guisborough Shopping to Traffic Calming II

  • Same design as Scaleen to Eglinton
  • Remove traffic calming and add crossing

Traffic calming ii to end of Enfield Chase

  • Same design as Scaleen to Eglinton
