How will the Driveway Entry operate?
A Driveway Entry is a 20m section of road designed to look like a road closure, but with two-way access maintained via a narrow link, which resembles a private driveway. When located at an intersection, this discourages non-local traffic from entering as, from the perspective of a motorist on Young Street, the intersection would not be perceived as a route through to Greenhill Road. At a typical t-junction a motorist on the terminating road gives way to traffic turning from the continuing road. However, with a Driveway Entry, as there is only space for one vehicle through the device at a time, this will change. The motorist already negotiating the device needs to be allowed to exit before another vehicle enters. Typical scenarios are provided below.
