Plenary Question & Answer: Henlys Corner
Andrew Dismore
Will the Mayor review the layout of Henly’s Corner to improve safety for cyclists?
Written answer from the Chair and the Commissioner
Major improvements to the highway layout at Henly’s Corner were completed in December 2011, including new facilities for cyclists and pedestrians, whilst also providing better conditions for the movement of traffic on the A1 and A406.
The scheme provides signal controlled pedestrian and cyclist crossing facilities on all arms of the junction and has reinstated the off-carriageway cycle path on the south side of the A406, allowing safe movement of cyclists along and across the North Circular. The pre- and post-implementation Road Safety Audits have not raised any significant cycle safety issues that have not been addressed and I therefore do not at this stage propose to ask TfL to review the layout of this new junction.
