Quietway 6 Leytonstone Road/Henniker Road/Buxton Road staggered junctions

On the 10th of October 2016, LB Newham proposed to the deal with a staggered junction issue for cycling traffic on the Quietway 6 route with

1. the installation a new parallel pedestrian crossing (being a zebra pedestrian crossing, together with a crossing point for pedal cycles immediately parallel) on Leytonstone Road with the centre of the crossing to be located 5 metres south of the southern kerb-line of Henniker Road and

2. Introducing one-way motor vehicle traffic movement on Buxton Road (eastbound only direction) and two-way cycling traffic movements (in both directions).

Revised March 2016 Newham Cyclists proposed Analysis and comments (figures based on QW6 LB Newham report)

Intervention 28: Henniker Road/Leytonstone Road/Buxton Road

Traffic count (on Leytonstone Road)

18900 vehicles per day
1300 vehicles per peak hour = CLoS [Safety/Feeling of safety/Total volume of traffic (cycling traffic not separated)] = ‘Critical’ i.e. volume of motor vehicles (>1000 vehicles/peak hour).

Average speed
23 – 24 mph (majority of time) = CLoS [Safety/ Feeling of safety/Speed of traffic (cycling traffic not separated)] = ‘Good’ (score = 1)

NC Suggestions/Recommendations

Signalise and integrate Henniker Road/Leytonstone Road and Leytonstone Road/Buxton Road junctions.

Consider a Point Closure (i.e. Modal Filter) at the Leytonstone Road/Buxton Road junction.

Newham Cyclists previous response to LB Newham

LB Newham have not given much consideration to our key recommendation based on CLoS/JAT analysis – Signalise and integrate Henniker Road/Leytonstone Road and Leytonstone Road/Buxton Road junctions which will ensure that cycling traffic right turns can be made without crossing more than one lane of moving motor traffic in one step (i.e. separation in space and/or in time).

No priority is given to cycling traffic at this staggered junction with a 30mph high traffic major road (i.e. Leytonstone Road).

Conclusion: Newham Cyclists cannot support this junction plan because it doesn’t meet LCC Quietways principles.

Please let us have your suggestions, recommendations or comments by Friday, 28th of October 2016 so as to help Newham Cyclists draft a group response for Wednesday, 2nd of November 2016 deadline. Many thanks.
