Southampton Row and Theobalds Road Safe and Healthy Streets

Following a fatality at this junction in August Camden Council installed a number of temporary changes to the junction in October.

This consultation concerns some more radical permanent changes

The proposals include:

A cycle gate on the Southampton Row (N) approach
A new segregated cycle track northbound and southbound on Southampton Row
ASL boxes with early release on the Vernon Place and Southampton Row (S) arms
Early release for cycles and buses on Theobalds Road
Full-time bus lanes on Southampton Row (S) and on Theobalds Road
Widened pedestrian crossing on Vernon Place with cyclists to be allowed to turn left from Southampton Row into Vernon Place
Removing the pedestrian guardrail around the junction to reduce potential harm to cyclists
New ‘buff’ coloured surfacing at crossing points,
