🚧 Turnhurst Road – Proposed Traffic Calming Scheme 🚧
Following requests from local residents and ward councillors, a road safety assessment has been undertaken on Turnhurst Road. As a result, Stoke-on-Trent City Council has developed a series of proposed measures to improve road safety and accessibility along Turnhurst Road.

📋 The consultation plans are now available to view below.

Key Proposed Improvements:
✅ Removal of the existing chicane buildouts along Turnhurst Road to improve the consistency and layout of the carriageway.
✅ Installation of traffic calming features, including sets of speed cushions, to reduce vehicle speeds.
✅ Upgrading the existing zebra crossing to a raised table zebra crossing, including new brighter modular beacons to improve visibility and pedestrian safety.
✅ Installation of a raised table crossing with refuge island to improve pedestrian crossing facilities and accessibility.
✅ Installation of a new zebra crossing within the school grounds, providing a safer crossing point for children, reducing the need to cross in front of the main school entrance, where vehicle movements are higher during school drop-off and collection times.
✅ Removal of unnecessary road markings associated with the existing chicane buildouts, with remaining road markings refreshed to improve clarity and driver awareness.

ℹ️ Please note that this is a standalone highway safety scheme, developed from current road conditions and collision data. It is completely independent of the proposed local plan H58, H60 and BL9 allocations, as well as the Regulation 19 Consultation.
Benefits of the Scheme:

🔸 Reduce vehicle speeds along Turnhurst Road.
🔸 Improves pedestrian crossing facilities and accessibility.
🔸 Provide safer crossing facilities for school children, particularly during school drop-off and collection times.
🔸 Improves the consistency and layout of the carriageway following removal of the existing chicanes.
🔸 Improves road markings and driver awareness.

Next Steps:
Following the consultation:
🔹 All comments received will be carefully considered.
🔹 Amendments will be made where appropriate before the final design is completed.
🔹 Subject to the outcome of the consultation, the final proposals are currently planned for commencement on site later in 2026, although this may change depending on the consultation outcome.

💬 We want to hear your views
If you have any comments on the proposed scheme, please email [email protected]. It would be helpful if you could also include your property number within your response.
Regrettably, due to the number of responses we receive, we are unable to respond to individual comments provided
📅 The consultation closes on 5th October 2026.

Surface dressing is a cost-effective preventative treatment that helps preserve the road surface and extend its service life. By carrying out this type of maintenance at the right time, we can treat a larger proportion of the highway network and help prevent more extensive deterioration in the future.
Please allow extra time for your journey and consider alternative routes where possible. While our crews will do their best to facilitate access whenever it is safe to do so, there may be occasions when residents and visitors are asked to wait briefly whilst the treatment is being applied.
We appreciate your patience and cooperation while these works are carried out. For the latest updates, please check local signage and follow Stoke-on-Trent Highways on Facebook. 🚧
