UWE Priority side road study focus group report

Ricci, Miriam; Parkin, John

Abstract

The Road Safety Trust awarded the Centre for Transport and Society at the University of the West of England, Bristol a grant to undertake research to understand which design factors influence the efficacy and safety of side road crossings in the UK, with a focus on side road layout, detailed design of priority for crossing cyclists and pedestrians, and how that priority is indicated through road markings. This report presents the findings of the qualitative social research component undertaken in March 2022. By carrying out eight on-line focus groups with forty-seven people, this research explored the opinions and behaviours of disabled and non-disabled pedestrians, cyclists, drivers and other road users, in relation to different side road crossing configurations in UK cities.
