Work to finalise the Streets Alive trials - initiatives aimed at making Gore’s streets safer, more accessible for everyone and the town more people-friendly - is continuing apace behind the scenes.
Gore district Roading Asset Manager and Project Lead Peter Standring said the team has been working really hard to line up projects across the town. We are looking at trialling adjustments to a few key roads to calm traffic and improve safety for everyone. On some roads we will look to make crossing the traffic safer by introducing pavement marking and planters to narrow the travelling carriageway. This will not only reduce the crossing distance for pedestrians and cyclists but also lower the average traffic speeds.
