Re-opening University Road to traffic at Queens Road junction
What's happening?
Bristol City Council proposes to remove the closure of the southern end of University Road to motor traffic at Queens Road junction enacted under a temporary traffic regulation order (TRO) for purposes connected to Coronavirus during 2020. The Council subsequently made the measure permanent in 2022 based on the benefits of uninterrupted pedestrian priority at this location.
However, the Administration "considers the benefits not sufficient to support its continuation and that the prohibition of motor vehicles is no longer a proportionate response at this location. In that connection, it is proposed to re-open the road to motor traffic between Queens Road and Elmdale Road to secure expeditious, convenient movement of motortraffic."
