What specific actions have been taken by (a) TfL and (b) Camden Council in relation to making Holborn Gyratory safe for cyclists during the month of November?

Further to my response to Mayor’s Question 2021/4343 outlining work completed in October, Transport for London (TfL) continued to work closely with Camden Council  during November Camden has completed its feasibility design of the new layout for the junction, and traffic modelling has been completed. Camden published the designs for public consultation between 13th November and 1st December, and the plans can be seen here: https://consultations.wearecamden.org/supporting-communities/southampton-row-and-theobalds-road/

The proposals include:

A new segregated cycle track northbound and southbound on Southampton Row

A new cycle gate southbound on Southampton Row at the junction with Theobald’s Road.

New advanced stop lines for cyclists in all directions

An early start of around 4 seconds for cyclists in all directions.

Cyclists being able to turn right in two stages on all junction arms

Bus, cycle and taxi lane southbound from 150 Southampton Row through to junction with Theobald’s Road converted to 24 hours per day

Bus, cycle and taxi lane southbound from Southampton Row junction to Catton Street converted to 24 hours per day

Removing the pedestrian guardrail around the junction to reduce potential harm to cyclists

Camden will now develop the final detailed designs and plan to start construction work at the site from mid-January 2022.
