Kirby Muxloe, Barns Close & Barons Close

Proposed Traffic Calming Scheme

Latest Update November 2006

The scheme was substantially completed in November 2006. Post scheme monitoring will now commence.

October 2006

The speed tables will be constructed during week commencing 6th November 2006. Some advance works will be carried out prior to this date.

March 2006

The formal consultation period has now ended. Further news on the development of this scheme will follow shortly.

Background

As part of the construction of a new housing development on Barons Close in Kirby Muxloe, Bloor Homes are funding traffic calming measures on Barns Close and Barons Close. The traffic calming measures will help to redress some of the potential adverse effects of traffic arising from the development.

The Proposals

Speed Cushions
It is proposed to install four sets of speed cushions on Barns Close and Barons Close. Three sets will be located along Barns Close and one set will be located on the entrance into Barons Close. The speed cushions will reduce vehicle speeds along Barons Close and Barns Close. Larger delivery vehicles will be able to straddle the cushions thereby reducing the occasional noise that this type of vehicle may generate when negotiating vertical traffic calming measures
