Richmond Council is advancing traffic schemes focused on enhancing pedestrian and cyclist routes, particularly around Hampton Court Palace due to high collision rates. A council report discussed ongoing traffic improvement plans aimed at reducing accidents, highlighting the need for changes to the road layout. Following public objections to earlier proposals, new revisions include a signalised crossing and improved cycling infrastructure. A public consultation is expected later this year, while plans for enhancements along Hospital Bridge Road are under review, with construction anticipated to start in 2026.
The Richmond Council is moving forward with plans to enhance pedestrian and cyclist safety across the borough, with a focus on busy traffic areas like Hampton Court.
A report confirmed the council's plans for public consultation on road layout changes near Hampton Court Palace, aiming to reduce collision rates.
Originally, temporary changes were implemented in 2020, now the council aims for permanent measures to improve road safety, particularly at the Hampton Court Roundabout.
Despite previous objections, new proposals for a signalised pedestrian crossing and two-way cycle facilities are now under consideration by Transport for London.
