Mobility study and redesign of the N5 in Waterloo

Mission objectives

To define a strategic vision for the N5’s route through Waterloo and translate this into planning proposals. The aim is to make the town centre more pedestrian-friendly by diverting through traffic onto the Ring Road, to develop a high-quality cycling infrastructure, to improve bus journey times and service frequency, and to promote walking and enhance the area’s commercial appeal.

Achievements and impact

• Development of a multimodal scheme illustrating the ‘priority’ strategy between transport modes.
• Preliminary planning to confirm the feasibility of the proposed assumptions for critical junctions;
• Calibration of junctions, and proposals for prioritising buses at signalised junctions
• Budgeting and prioritisation of interventions by stakeholders.
