Consultation closed: Transport for Norwich - Earlham Fiveways roundabout

Consultation closed 24 July 2018


We’re consulting on proposed improvements to the Earlham Road Fiveways roundabout. If approved for construction, funding for this scheme will be £685,000 from the Department for Transport’s Cycle City Ambition grant, awarded to Norwich for cycle safety improvements. An additional £65,000 of additional funding will come from Norfolk County Council’s local safety scheme budget.

These aim to improve safety for all users and include the following changes:

  • Upgrading three existing signalised crossings to toucan crossings allowing both walking and cycling.
  • Connecting the toucan crossings with an improved shared-use path.
  • Building a raised table on Gypsy Lane and implementing a 20mph restriction here and on adjacent side roads.
  • Resizing the central island and narrowing the width of the circulatory lanes to reduce speed and conflict.
  • Building splitter islands on the arms of the roundabout to allow convenient crossings for walking and cycling.
  • Installing new street lighting on the central island to illuminate the shared-use path and the splitter island crossings.
