QUESTION NO.6

QUESTION: Councillor W. Carey

To ask the manager for a report on discussions and deliberations with TII regarding the possible changes to the lane changes and approaches at the junction of N7/Boot Rd/Newlands Cross and to indicate if and when councillors have to engage in the process here.

REPLY:

In response to numerous SDCC safety concerns raised, the TII have made several recent changes to the in bound Left lane of the N7 and at the Boot Road junction.  I attach a series of pictures showing the improvement in lane marking on the N7 and signage and bollards at the Boot Road junction 

The TII carried out their own safety audits of both locations and their design teams drew up and implemented the new proposals.

The TII are the managers of these sections of road and are designated the competent authority on the management of this road infrastructure.
