Consideration was given to a report, which summarised the outcome of a feasibility study which evaluated options to make it safer and easier to access the Common Road junction with the A1079, Hull Road at Dunnington by installing traffic signals.

The Executive Member reported receipt of one late representation from Cllr Merrett. It was reported that he shared the concerns of the Cyclists Touring Club representative that consideration should be given to amending the scheme to make a more positive provision for cyclists at and through the junction.

The Executive Member confirmed that it was his view that it would be possible to significantly improve safety and reduce journey times at this junction by the introduction of traffic signals. He then gave consideration to the following options:

Option 1 – Approve in principle a road widening and traffic signalscheme for the A1079 Common Road junction at Dunnington, to be put forward for possible inclusion in the Transport Capital programme for funding in future years.

Option 2 – Abandon the current A1079 Common Road junction improvement proposals.
