Highways

• New Relief Road: A new Park Street/Frogmore Relief Road between the A414 and A5183.
• Measures to ensure that HGVs are restricted from using Watling Street and Harper Lane.
• Measures to divert HGVs away from using Park Street after the opening of the relief road.

• Park Street Roundabout: Improvements to the Park Street Roundabout including capacity improvements to the existing 5 arm priority roundabout, an additional A405 entry lane and A414 (east arm) exit lane, additional circulatory carriageway lane, signalisation on the A414 and A405 arm, and improvements to the A405 pedestrian crossing.
• Signalling controls: Better Microprocessor Optimised Vehicle Actuation (MOVA), which controls the time of 
  the green lights to suit traffic levels and improve the flow of traffic.
