Route improvement safety schemes

Works to improve the road safety along Great Western Way are now complete.

A project to make improvements on the following routes are in progress:

  • A346 Marlborough Road, Chiseldon
  • A4259 Queens Drive
  • A4312 Drakes Way
  • B4006 Dorcan Way
  • New Inn roundabout (including Bridge End Road to the Elgin Drive junction)

The projects are still in the early stages of design, but their overall objectives seek to improve road safety by:

  • analysing the collision data for each site to identify emerging trends and identifying engineering measures to reduce these incidents
  • reviewing existing highway infrastructure and whether this could be enhanced for the benefit of road users

With the exception of Queens Drive, which is being investigated in response to a Motion to Full Council, these schemes have been highlighted as a result of the 2021 Annual Safety Review that identified these as the highest risk routes in the Borough.
