Shamelessly plagiarised from Hackney Cycling Campaign.

Compared to Hackney we are in a different situation with far higher car ownership but also high bicycle ownership but the fundamental problems are similar namely motor vehicles dominating most of the roads.

 

Sustainable Safety is a Dutch concept based on clearly defining the function of roads:

1. Through Roads – for high volumes of traffic for longer distances.
2. Connector Roads – linking these to shopping centres and
3. Local Access Roads  ; where walking and cycling should have priority.

I have tried to put together a tentative classification for our borough with Through Roads in Red and Connector Road in Blue. 

Obviously the A316 and South Circular must be Through Roads otherwise a bit of a judgement call. Ideally shopping streets should not be through roads if possible.
