Road safety - traffic schemes

We use various measures to slow down traffic on roads in the borough including: speed cushions, carriageway narrowing, raised entry treatments, alternate give ways, mini roundabouts and chicanes.

Requesting new traffic calming measures.

 If you think new traffic calming measures are needed somewhere in the borough, please click here to contact us. We will investigate the area to find out the speed and flow of traffic, the frequency of accidents and the number of vulnerable road users (such as schoolchildren) to decide if new traffic calming measures are necessary.

20mph Zones

These are residential areas in the borough where we have introduced traffic calming measures, such as speed cushions and raised entry treatments, and a 20mph speed limit to reduce the speed and volume of traffic. We want to discourage the use of motorised transport in 20mph Zones by making travel easier and safer for pedestrians and cyclists.

Currently there are fifteen 20mph Zones in the borough. 12 already installed in Wormholt, College Park, Old Oak, Cathnor Park, Emlyn Road, Brook Green, White City, Bulwer, St Augustines, All Saints, St Thomas and Grove.  We also have 3 under development - Thornfield Road (second phase), North Fulham (second phase) and North End Road East (second phase).

Local Safety Schemes.

If a specific junction, route or area has a poor safety record we can investigate remedial engineering to reduce the number of accidents. Depending on the road safety problems in the area, we may make changes to the road layout, install traffic calming measures or simply improve the road markings or signage.

Schmes for 2008/09.

20mph Zones:

  • Phase 2 of the North Fulham 20mph Zone  
  • Phase 2 of the North End Road East 20mph Zone 
  • Phase 2 of the Thornfield Road 20mph Zone                                

Local Safety Schemes:

  • Goldhawk Road route investigation
  • Fulham Palace Road (Fulham Road to Lillie Road)
  • Uxbridge Road (Wood Lane to Askew Road)
  • King Street (Dalling Road to Goldhawk Road)    

Further information regarding these schemes will be posted in due course.  

Please note, we may need to change our programme of planned works due to factors beyond our control, such as private building developments and works by utility companies.
