Trial Scheme at Fountains Roundabout in Chester

The trial scheme at Fountains Roundabout in Chester is a temporary initiative aimed at improving conditions for cyclists and pedestrians. Here are the key details:

• Trial Duration: Until7th July
• Changes Being Tested: Traffic signals are switched off at the roundabout to study traffic flow without them.
• Atemporary pedestrian crossing has been installed across St Oswald’s Way to assist pedestrian movement.

Purpose of the Trial

The scheme is designed to evaluate how the roundabout functions without traffic signals and whether this improves safety and convenience for non-motorised users. It will help determine if more permanent changes could benefit all road users, especially pedestrians and cyclists.
