Segregated cycleways

We have developed plans to improve connectivity between Coventry city centre and Tollbar End. 

The plans aim to make travel safer and easier for walking, wheeling, and cycling. The new design, shown below, builds on work around Abbey Road, London Road North, and Humber Road, and includes:

• A 1km cycleway along London Road, mostly segregated, with two short (80m) shared sections for pedestrians and cyclists
• Upgraded junctions at St James Lane and London Road, with new toucan crossings and smart traffic signals that detect people and vehicles
• Improved crossing near Chace Avenue, upgraded to a toucan crossing with the same smart signal technology
• Safer side-road crossings at Abbey Road, Carnegie Road, Seymour Close, Sunbury Road, and Stonehouse Lane
• Enhanced bus stops at Carnegie Close, St James Lane, and Stonehouse Lane for better flow, access, and passenger safety
• Resurfacing, new signage, and road markings

There is currently no right turn in or out of Chace Avenue at London Road. With reduced heavy traffic and the new cycleway, we’d like your views on whether this restriction should remain.

These improvements support our long-term goal of creating a continuous, safe cycle route from Tollbar End through London and Humber Roads, linking to the Binley Cycleway and providing a direct route into the city centre.

Road safety audits

All cycle schemes are subject to three detailed safety audits. There are three stages: one at the start of the design process, one that is carried out during construction, and a final audit on completion of the work. Safety audits are an essential part of cycle schemes as they help to ensure that our plans are reviewed independently.   

An independent team carries out the safety reviews. These are now available to view.
