The final phase of works involving Eastern Quietway are finished! The developments were made to ensure the safety and visibility of pedestrians and cyclists alongside have the aim to calm traffic. Overall the scheme has:
- Placed a raised table at the junction of Spring Road and Station Road.
- Added a red text-printed surface across the raised table.
- Introduced parallel crossings for pedestrians and cyclists.
- Realigned the uncontrolled tactile crossings on the east and west arms.

We have also installed shared-use in the area for cyclists, and resurfaced some of the footways.

Later in 2024, there may be an opportunity for us to perform some surfacing works on Garton Road, however this has not been programmed as of yet.
September 2023: Cranbury Road/Station Road Junction
The first scheme within Eastern Quietway has finished at the Cranbury Road/Station Road junction. We have installed a new zebra crossing on Station Road to improve pedestrian access to and from Sholing Rail Station, as well as a new pedestrian island at the junction of Cranbury Road and Station Road. The vehicle exit from Cranbury Road to Station Road has changed to left-turn only, which will improve safety and make it easier to cross Cranbury Road.
