Overview

Rediweld installed a 75mm-high Combination Table with 1m- wide RediPave Traffic Island modules at the sides as a swift solution for Leicester City Council to reduce speeding at Lomond Crescent, a residential cut-through road that is often exploited by speeding drivers. It is one-way with a steep gradient and 20mph speed limit and has a history of accidents, particularly on the sharp bend, making the properties vulnerable.

Leicester City Council provided the tarmac infill.

Outcome

As a result of implementing the scheme, traffic has slowed and residents feel safer. In addition, the road is now open to two-way traffic, making it easier for residents to reach their homes. 

With the use of both the Combination Table and the RediPave Traffic Islands, vehicles are travelling at much slower speeds and pedestrians and cyclists are safer. 

Testimonial

"We were having problems with vehicles travelling down a steep hill at inappropriate speeds. Some were then losing control on a bend and crashing through a fence into the garden of a residential property. To try and stop this happening we decided to install a road hump to slow vehicles down. A Combination Table with RediPave Traffic Islands at the side to narrow the carriageway was chosen as a solution. This cut costs and meant we could install the scheme quickly and with minimal disruption to traffic."
