Parking and traffic regulation consultations

Arlen Hill needs to make a lot of decisions about changes to the roads. By law, each change to the roads - such as new road markings, installing an on-street electric vehicle charge point or changing the speed limit - needs to be accompanied by its own consultation, so that people can agree or object to the proposals.

We’ve put them all together on this page, so you can have your say on any traffic decisions that affect you.

How do traffic changes get made?

The traffic regulation process is complicated. Maria Walden, Head of Traffic and Highways Maintenance at Arlen Hill, explains how it all works and why it’s important to hear from residents.

Your impact

Here are some traffic decisions we made based on your contributions and feedback.

20mph limit on Broad Street

After hearing your feedback on whether you would you support the creation of a 20mph zone along Broad St, we have decided to implement a 20mph zone along a section of Broad St to ensure children and pedestrians can get about safely.

Resident-only parking

We heard you feedback on wanting the creation of a parking scheme in Arlen Hill. The new parking zone will become effective in July 2023.

Cycle lane along High Street

We asked you whether the temporary cycle lane along the High Street should be made permanent and heard your comments about it creating a number of hazards. So, we will make the cycle route permanent but only in sections of the High Street that don’t cause hazards.
