New segregated cycleway keeps cyclists apart from people walking and wheeling from Castle Park to Old Market Roundabout. Tower Hill also has a segregated cycleway which allows easy access to the Temple Way underpass and This makes then junction a lot safer and more accessible.
New signalised crossings make passing through safer and, with added segregation, less congested. Crossing approaches have had surface treatment applied to signalise the change in speed limit and slow traffic down. The Lower Castle Street cycle lay-by also allows cyclists to wait before crossing traffic lanes.
New signs have been added on the Old Market Gap and in and around Old Market to make the junction easier to use and navigate. Vehicular signage ensures a clear understanding of the new traffic directions, new routes to destinations, and priorities.
