BORDERERS are being asked for their opinion about a proposed trial of a one-way system through a town in the region. According to Scottish Borders Council (SBC), the one-way system would be introduced on Chiefswood Road in Melrose with the aim of encouraging more people to cycle and walk. The six-month trial would see vehicle access limited to one lane downhill from the Fairways junction on Chiefswood Road, the council says. The trial would include a 40mph speed limit on the one-way system, with bollards put in place “to safely separate traffic from pedestrians and cyclists”. Gordon Edgar, SBC’s executive member for infrastructure, travel and transport, said: “Examining ways of improving our infrastructure to encourage active travel and promote healthy lifestyle choices is a high priority for the council.
