00:00Changes are being planned at a busy Filton Junction in Bristol following a series of crashes involving cyclists.
00:09The roundabout at the A38 Northville Road and Brough Mare Avenue has a documented history of collisions, with more than half resulting in injuries to cyclists.
00:19South Gloucestershire Council is stepping in to improve safety by altering the shape and size of the roundabout's central island.
00:28The goal is to better define the path vehicles take through the junction, reducing confusion and improving overall traffic flow.
00:38In addition to safety, the council is addressing the needs of larger vehicles.
00:43The junction must accommodate U-turns for very large vehicles, so overrun areas will be created.
00:50These are sections where the kerb is lowered or reinforced to allow bigger vehicles to navigate turns without difficulty, giving them access to some nearby roads.
01:01This is an important consideration for junction that serves both local traffic and larger commercial vehicles.
01:08Alongside changes to the central island, the approach lanes leading into the roundabout will be slightly modified to encourage smaller vehicles to reduce speed as they enter.
01:20The council hopes that this will reduce the risk of collisions, particularly those involving cyclists, who have been disproportionately affected at the location.
01:30Notably, the council confirmed that pedestrian crossings and bus stops at the junction will remain unchanged.
01:38These facilities will stay in their current positions, maintaining access and convenience for pedestrians.
