Below is a list of all our consultations. Some may be ongoing, and some may have ended. The Traffic and Road Safety department want to hear your views and will enter details of their plans, background information and how to have your say.
As part of the annual Pedestrian Facilities Programme, the Council is proposing changes to make it safer and easier for people to get to the nearby train station, particularly along a section of road where there is no pavement on one side.
The proposed improvements include:
New pavement build-outs and pedestrian islands to make crossing the road safer
A priority give-way system to help slow down traffic
High-grip road surfacing to improve safety
New and refreshed road markings
Advance warning signs for drivers
Renewal of existing road restrictions and markings where needed
Proposals have now been developed and are shown on the attached drawing HT 6400.
As part of the annual Safer Routes to School programme Wollescote Primary School was identified for a scheme to include as part of the Council’s 20mph School Zone initiative/policy an advisory 20mph school limit/zone.
This measure should have the desired effect of reducing vehicle speeds and encouraging a more responsible driving attitude whilst passing the school.
Proposed measures include:
School zone ‘Gateway’ on each approach to the school (comprising of a new flashing school sign, Slow marking and high-friction surfacing) with an advisory 20mph speed limit at school times.
Upgrade existing zebra crossing to include new LED Halo belisha beacons.
Review/Upgrade of all signage in the vicinity which include for the roundabout and priority give-way.
Proposals have now been developed and are shown on the attached drawing HT 6719.
Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council, as part of the low carbon agenda relating to transport, is engaged in the Office for Low Emission Vehicle funded On Street Residential Charge point Scheme to create an electric vehicle charge point network across the borough. This project is to encourage the move to electric vehicles which should provide a cleaner environment.
Part of the project is to provide on street charging points on the streets where off street charging facilities are not available. The stay is restricted to 6 hours, no return in 6 hours, 6am to 6pm all days, while charging/topping up batteries, primarily aimed at residents and their visitors in the area.
The project is a trial and therefore an Experimental Traffic Regulation Order (ETRO) has been used to introduce the electric charging places and the use of the bay will be monitored.
As part of Dudley’s Network Improvement and Pedestrian Programme, Oldswinford Cross, Stourbridge was identified as a priority location for upgrading. This is in response to an identified demand for pedestrian improvements at the junction.
Proposed measures include:
Revise stop lines and lane allocation
Wider Pedestrian dropped kerbs and tactile paving
Cycle advanced stop line
Wider pedestrian refuges
Revised signal phases and timings
‘MOVA’ signal technology to maximise capacity
Details of the proposals are shown on the attached plans. Comments are welcome up to Friday, 10th July.
As part of the annual Safer Routes to School programme Roberts Primary School was identified for a scheme to include as part of the Council's 20mph School Zone initiative/policy an advisory 20mph school limit/zone.
This measure should have the desired effect of reducing vehicle speeds and encouraging a more responsible driving attitude whilst passing the school entrance located along Deepdale Lane. These measures will also compliment/match those which are present/existing along Robert Street for that entrance.
These provisional proposals are shown in more detail on the attached drawing.

Parking restrictions require a Traffic Regulation Order and are installed to improve road safety and reduce congestion. View the Traffic Regulation Orders via our online map, including links to car park tariffs and limited waiting restriction times.
