4. SAFETY
94% The of residents surveyed think that traffic speed has been reduced Street Design project aimed to make Cockmuir Place safer. Elsewhere this has often been achieved through putting up railings and barriers, but here, contemporary design principles in line with Designing Streets (Scottish Government, 2010) were adopted to balance vehicle access with pedestrian and cyclist movements in a way that enhanced the quality of the street enviornment. Daily average speed of traffic has reduced by 2 mph This colour surface treatment is a cost-effective solution to strongly indicate to motorists that there is an important route traversing the roadspace. Drivers perceive that the road has been narrowed due to the marking of parking spaces on the previously undefined surface. This, along with marked crossing points has created an enviornment where pedestrians do not feel as intimidated by moving vehicles. Marking parking spaces out also creates a subtle chicane effect that is accentuated at busy times when cars are parked in those spaces. This, along with the 20 m.p.h. speed limit, helps to further slow down traffic. 4. SAFETY - SPEED OF TRAFFIC
