Rosehill traffic islands adapted to integrate with existing infrastructure, creating safer pedestrian crossing points in a busy city centre environment.
Park Square is a busy city centre junction in Leeds where vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians share the road space. The existing crossing points needed upgrading to provide better pedestrian protection without major reconstruction of the junction layout. The council required a solution that could be installed quickly and integrate with existing traffic signals and street furniture.
Park Square — city centre junction shared by vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians
The Challenge
The Challenge
!Park Square is a high-traffic city centre junction shared by vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians
!Existing crossing points offered limited physical protection for pedestrians
!The solution needed to integrate with existing traffic signals, street furniture and road markings
!Minimal disruption was essential in a busy city centre location
Objectives
