Proposed Changes to the Traffic Pinch Point on The Lower Rainham Road adjacent to West Motney Way

Click plan to enlarge.

Michael Edwards, Head of Integrated Transport at Medway Council has written to residents inviting them to comment on proposed changes to the public highway on The Lower Rainham Road adjacent to West Motney Way, Mr Edwards writes:

"Over a period of time, the Council has received representations from users of The Lower Rainham Road about the priority working arrangement adjacent to West Motney Way. Users have commented on the disruption to the free flow of traffic it causes and expressed concerns about safety and speeds when the priority system is not adhered to and outside of peak hours when vehicles are often able to pass through without slowing down.

Highway Officers and your Ward Councillors have carefully considered these comments and spent a considerable amount of time assessing the current situation. A number of site visits have been undertaken, along with a Road Safety Audit and a pedestrian survey.

Following this assessment, we have come up with a proposal to replace the priority working system with speed cushions. This would involve removing the build-outs and widening the carriageway to allow two-way traffic. We would then install two new speed cushions to match the existing ones to the east and west. The 20mph speed limit would remain. In order to widen the carriageway, we would need to effectively remove a kerbed area on the northern side of the carriageway, which is sometimes used by pedestrians. Our survey indicated that the number of pedestrians using this section is very low, and we noted the absence of footway provision elsewhere along Lower Rainham Road.”

In addition, Rainham North Councillors David Carr and Martin Potter posted online:

“After our extensive work with Highway Officers in recent years on how we can improve the priority working "pinch" on the Lower Rainham Road at West Motney Way, the Council has sent out the attached consultation letter on a proposed new road layout. Some residents may not have received the letter but you are very welcome to get in touch with us with your opinion.”

The plan for the proposal is shown above and anyone wanting to comment should get in touch by Monday the 20th of August 2018 at the contact details below:
