B582 Enderby Road/ Whetstone Transfer Station Access - Junction Improvement
The completed improvements have been designed to reduce peak hour congestion, improve accessibility, and include the following measures:
- The introduction of traffic signals to manage the traffic movements more effectively and efficiently at the junction reducing the delays previously experienced by main road traffic giving way to the side road traffic
- Additional B582 dedicated left and right hand turn lanes approaching the junction to improve capacity and provide better access for traffic to the transfer station.
- An additional exit lane from the transfer station to improve capacity for traffic exiting the side road, which will assist the transfer station's operation in busy periods
- The introduction of pedestrian and cycle facilities at the junction to improve accessibility for non-car modes to the transfer station and industrial units
