Road safety measures coming to Acre Lane

Acre Lane will see a speed table installed plus several humps from neighbouring roads, if new proposals are approved. A current consultation has the following plans:

  • A full speed table at the junction of Acre Lane and Baytree Road
  • Road humps at the junctions of Acre Lane with Branksome Road and Strathleven Road, and several roads on the north side of Acre Lane

These changes are designed to reduce drivers’ speeds when turning and to reduce the crossing distance for pedestrians. The measures will, in addition, provide a level surface for pedestrians crossing the side roads.

If you have an objections or any other representation relating to the proposed road humps, you should make them in writing. All objections must specify the grounds on which they are made and should be sent to Barbara Poulter by 6 March 2020 by emails to bpoulter@lambeth.gov.uk quoting reference A2217 COLLISION REDUCTION PROGRAMME.  Any objection may be communicated to, or be seen by, other persons who may have an interest in this matter.
