Westminster City Council Consultation Hub
Cycling Movement Strategy Buckingham Palace Road
Consultation description
Following a review of the existing temporary scheme, a permanent scheme has been developed which formalises the temporary scheme. It also includes a number of improvements that further improve cyclist safety.
We would like to understand the views of the public on this proposal before a decision is taken on implementing the scheme.
History of the scheme
Our Cycling Movement Strategy provides details on the range of projects that we will be developing over the coming years to encourage more people to take up cycling, to improve facilities for existing cyclists and to improve safety.
Phase Two of the strategy includes a number schemes that have been prioritised for implementation later this year, subject to more detailed feasibility, design work and consultation.
Previous consultation
In November and December 2021 Westminster consulted on the ‘Cycling Movement Strategy’ temporary cycle schemes. The consultation sought stakeholder views on retaining the 11 temporary cycle schemes installed across Westminster as part of our COVID-19 response.
The consultation received a strong level of support to retain the temporary cycle lanes whilst we develop proposals to create permanent facilities.
We are now in the process of developing permanent proposals for the 11 cycle schemes.
Summary of the proposal
The proposals include:
- Upgrading existing bus lane signage to allow motorcycles to use bus lanes.
- Upgrade of kerb side restrictions to double yellow lines on Southbound sections of Buckingham Palace Road from Semley Place to Ebury Bridge Road.
- Proposed buses only parking on Buckingham Palace Road outside National Audit Office.
- Removal of blacked out road markings through hydro blasting.
Refresh of existing road markings where needed.
