To improve safety, the following traffic calming measures will be implemented between the A10 (Royston Road), along Fowlmere Road and Station Road up to the Shepreth railway station.

Speed limit reduction and speed humps

We will introduce a 30mph speed limit between Barron’s Green T-junction and the A10 (reduced from 60mph) which will improve safety and reduce traffic noise on the route into the village. A 20mph speed limit will be introduced from the junction of Barron's Green to Shepreth railway station, Meldreth Road and High Street. A 20mph zone will improve safety in the village by making the road easier to cross and safer for walking, cycling and driving

Sinusoidal speed humps will be constructed along Fowlmere Road to ensure everyone follows the 30mph speed limit. A final speed hump will also be constructed north of Barron’s Green T-junction along Fowlmere Road. Street lighting will be improved throughout the route.

Double yellow lines

Double yellow lines will be introduced to prevent problem parking where it affects visibility at points on Station Road, Angle Lane, Fowlmere Road and on side road junctions.

Junction tightening and raised tables

Three side road junctions (Barron’s Green, Angle Lane and Meldreth Road) will be reduced in width. This measure slows down vehicles when turning into and out of junctions and enhances safety, while reducing crossing distances. The road surface at these junctions will be slightly raised to support the speed reduction; making crossings more accessible (with level surfaces) and supporting the Highway Code, which requires drivers to give way to pedestrians crossing side roads.

Footways

Footways will be widened and/or improved at the side road junctions of Meldreth Road, Angle Lane and Barron's Green.
