BOXMOOR TRAFFIC STRATEGY LAUNCHED

Since April 2021 Boxmoor's councillors supported by 23 local volunteers have spent over 100 hours surveying and analysing traffic flows at notorious rat runs and busy roads across Boxmoor.

"We needed to understand the scale and nuances of a problem before we can discuss solutions." says Adrian England, County Councillor for Boxmoor.

Key findings so far are that:

- traffic on Lockers Park Lane increases by 6.5 times on a school day

- 89% of eastbound rush hour traffic on St Johns Rd is through traffic

- at peak times pedestrians have to cope with a car every five seconds on Fishery Road

This collected data and analysis is to help support lobbying and inform decision-making. As a result of the data collected, Boxmoor Councillors have found the funding for a pedestrian crossing on Fishery Road and Herts County Council are undertaking a feasibility study.

Dacorum Borough Councillor William Allen explains "this is only a start - our surveying will continue to more areas and this will help us to chip away at the problems to improve the situation in Boxmoor."

The Boxmoor Councillors are committed to building solutions from the street rather than them being imposed from above, so expect street surveys and Neighbourhood Action Group meetings near you soon.
