Bike scheme trial for roundabout

A NEW scheme to enhance movement for cyclists and pedestrians is being trialled at the Fountains Roundabout in Chester this week.

- 

Phase 1 of the scheme will see a controlled exercise to turn off the existing traffic signals at the roundabout to assess how the junction operates for all users.

Cheshire West and Chester Council's leader and Cabinet Member for Strategic Transport, Councillor Louise Gittins, said: "The traffic signals at Fountains Roundabout are approaching the end of their operational lifespan.

"Our highways service has been looking into potential future options for the management of traffic and to support cyclists and pedestrians at the junction to find the best solution for all road users.
