A4226 Port Road

Option development - Waycock Cross along A4226

Option development - Waycock Cross to Rhoose roundabout

<p>Due to highway constraints the section from Waycock Cross to the Toby Carvery will be a shared use cycleway/footway with 3.5m width for as much as possible.</p><p>From the Cwm Ciddy to the Rhoose roundabout it is proposed to install a continuous segregated cycleway and footway. &nbsp;The future construction of this would be dependent on the Council securing land from neighbouring fields and no discussions have been held with landowners to date.</p><p>The provision is proposed to be constructed on the southern side of the carriageway to reduce the number of crossing points throughout the route.</p><p>There is potential to provide a buffer to provide segregation between vehicles and active travel users to enhance route safety and attractiveness.&nbsp;</p><p>There are no plans to reduce the speed limit on this section of road at this time.</p><p><br></p><p><br></p>

Option development - Rhoose roundabout to Airport

<p>From Rhoose roundabout to Model Farm the segregated provision continues until we reach a pinch point at Model Farm. &nbsp;</p><p>Running past Model Farm the provision will be shared use. &nbsp;We are unable to reduce the width of the highway to continue a segregated provision. &nbsp;</p><p>The route will return to segregated walking/cycling past Model Farm until it connects to the existing shared use path leading to Rhoose village.</p><p><br></p>

Understand why we want to improve active travel links between Barry and Rhoose.

What are we doing and why?

<h2>Why do we want to improve active travel links between Barry and Rhoose?</h2><p>There is an increasing need to change the way people travel between destinations using private vehicles. &nbsp;</p><p>There is no current infrastructure provision for pedestrians and cyclists connecting Waycock Cross to Rhoose and the surrounding area. &nbsp;The construction of this route would benefit local connectivity between the neighboring communities of Rhoose and Barry, and provide improved access to a number of key destinations such as Cardiff Wales Airport and BAMC.</p><p>The A4226 is recognised as a barrier to Active Travel between Barry and Rhoose and the route currently has a high level of vehicular traffic and resultant low level of active travel users.</p><p>The provision of good quality active travel infrastructure is an important component in negating the need for people to own vehicles.</p><p>We want to achieve the following:</p><ul><li>facilitate active travel;</li><li>enable and encourage people to travel sustainably;</li><li>deliver an integrated transport system where walking and cycling provide an alternative to car travel;</li><li>enhance the active travel infrastructure in the Vale of Glamorgan;</li><li>increase the number of active journeys in this area by 20% within three years of scheme completion; and,</li><li>make a lasting positive impact.</li></ul><p><br></p><p><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/commonplace-digital-limited/image/upload/v1662366551/projects/62f3d9fd493e296233d1e815/nhepxdkl0edkq8r0tf8y.jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt="Image showing area of scheme from Waycock Cross to Airport"></p>
