Angel Road - Waterloo Road junction

Norfolk County Council asked for feedback on proposed changes to the Angel Road/Waterloo Road junction in Norwich.

The aim of the scheme is to improve bus journey times along Angel Road by changing the priority traffic flow at the junction. In doing so, it will reduce the delays to buses caused by vehicles travelling along Waterloo Road and therefore deliver better bus punctuality and reliability for passengers.

Overview

The following measures are proposed to deliver the aims of the project:

Removal of existing give way and central island at the Angel Road/Waterloo Road junction, along with realignment of the carriageway through changes to the kerb line
New give way, along with realignment of the carriageway through changes to the kerb line on Waterloo Road
Raised table for continuous footway at the Shipstone Road junction.
