Enhancing priority for people crossing side roads

Join us on the 12th June on this online event! 

The TPS Southwest and Wales regions are pleased to be collaborating with researchers at the University of the West of England (UWE) to present the findings of studies into improving the design of priority crossings for all road users.

The University of the West of England has conducted two research projects on behalf of the Road Safety Trust and Transport Scotland/Sustrans on the effect of enhancing priority for people crossing side roads. One focused on marked priority crossings and the other on design priority crossings and compared them with conventional crossings. This presentation will share the key findings and explore the implications for different road users in terms of safety and comfort.

Dr Jonathan Flower is a Transport Planner and researcher at the Centre for Transport and Society at UWE Bristol, and a Board member with the Transport Planning Society. His current research project portfolio has a road safety focus and includes bus safety in Nepal; behaviour in proximity to automated vehicles; street design improvements for people walking and cycling; and an evaluation of the West of England e-scooter trial.

This event will take place online from 12:00-13:00 BST
