Proposed junction improvements at Grovesend Road/A38

We are seeking views on our proposals to make improvements at the Grovesend Road A38 junction. Through the improvements, we want to increase capacity at this busy junction to reduce congestion and delays.&nbsp;At the same time, we plan to introduce new walking and cycling paths, linking up with other proposed schemes to encourage more people to consider more active and sustainable ways of getting around.&nbsp;Please share your feedback on the proposals by completing this survey.

It would be helpful for us to know from which direction you currently approach/leave the junction. The image below shows the different options.

We&#39;d like to understand relative support for different aspects of the scheme. Please let us know what you think about each. Please review the visuals before providing feedback.

Additional left turn into Grovesend RoadA new lane would be created on the A38, specifically for use by vehicles turning left onto Grovesend Road. Vehicles continuing on through the junction would no longer be held up by vehicles turning left.&nbsp;After the junction, traffic is split with a right hand lane for traffic turning onto Tytherington Road.

Additional lane for traffic turning out of Grovesend Rd onto A38&nbsp;This would create separate queuing lanes for those turning either left or right from Grovesend Road onto the A38.&nbsp;This additional lane is proposed to help ease congestion.

New off road cycle track for cyclists travelling to/from ThornburyThe proposal is to create an off road cycle track (highlighted in light blue on the graphic) to improve access and safety for cyclists. The track would connect up with the proposed cycle lane along the A38 scheme, which is being consulted on separately.&nbsp;

New cycle lanes for cyclists travelling through the junctionOne-way on-carriageway cycle lanes are proposed to improve safety for cyclists travelling straight on through the junction.

Map graphics of key changes

The proposal includes changes which will increase capacity, reduce congestion and improve safety. Key design features include:<ul><li>A38 northbound would be widened to provide a new dedicated left turn lane at the junction with Grovesend Road,</li><li>A new 3m cycle track will be provided on the northbound side of the A38. This will be combined with a dropped kerb to allow cyclists heading down Grovesend Road to leave the carriageway and access the new cycle track,</li><li>A new 2m wide single carriageway cycle lane will also be provided for cyclists continuing north on the A38. These two features are provided to consolidate and improve the existing cycling features already present at the junction,</li><li>Additional space will be created on the A38 by combining the existing northbound straight on lane with the right turn lane. Traffic modelling has indicated that this reallocation of road space will be beneficial for future traffic flows,</li><li>The work will also include an amendment to the existing traffic signals through the introduction of a left turn filter for the new dedicated left turn lane,</li><li>The proposed widening also provides additional space on Grovesend Road to introduce dedicated left and right queuing lanes for traffic emerging on to the A38.&nbsp;</li></ul>These are shown graphically in the PDFs linked to below.
