Traffic calming in Elphinstone Road, Hastings

Consultation results

Results showed considerable local support for the scheme and works were carried out in 2009.

A plan showing the final designs for the scheme can be downloaded below.

The final scheme includes:

  • pedestrian islands, kerb build-outs and a traffic island to physically narrow the road
  • road markings to visually narrow the road
  • vehicle activated signs to warn drivers exceeding the speed limit
  • a mini-roundabout at the junction with Mount Pleasant Road.

The full results of this consultation are available in the meeting minutes of the Lead Member for Transport and Environment on 6 October 2008.
