Segregated cycleways

We are improving connectivity between the city centre and the area by Coventry Airport and nearby communities, where the West Midlands Green Power Park is located. These improvements will benefit pedestrians and cyclists, supporting more sustainable, safer, and healthier ways for people to travel whilst also encouraging through traffic on to roads like the A45 and A444 rather than residential roads.

We are now ready to move on to the next phase of completing the cycleway from Tollbar along London Road and into Humber Road where it joins the existing Binley Cycleway, which then provides a route into the city centre.

In April and May 2025 we asked you would you thought about:

• a design for pedestrian and cycling improvements at the ASDA roundabout
• what we should know before starting to design the Humber Road section and the Abbey Road to Tollbar End sections of Willenhall cycleway

You can see the consultation report here.

Funded by the West Midlands Combined Authority, these changes are all aimed at encouraging active travel – that’s walking, wheeling, and cycling, and supporting access to jobs, schools, parks, and public transport.

The full Willenhall cycleway route will look like this:

We have now completed work at the Abbey Road junction and a section of segregated cycleway along London Road. Improvement works have also been made for pedestrians, cyclists and drivers at ASDA roundabout. 

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.
