Long-term aim

Wish type(s): Long-term aim, New infrastructure, Safety Improvement

The current crossing is heavily used by parents, children, and local residents. But the pavements on either side get very crowded, and there is no legal facility for cyclists.

Moving the crossing to First Avenue, and making it a Toucan crossing, so bikes can use it too, would be most useful to re-connect North and South Lancing. At the same time the entrances to First Avenue from the A27 would be closed off: not a problem for motorists as there are alternative routes that aren’t much longer. Residents in First Avenue would see a drop in local traffic too.

Wish type(s): Long-term aim, New infrastructure, Safety Improvement

Remove all town centre dual carriageways (A24 & North Street), narrowing them to wide single carriageway roads with segregated cycle paths, consistent pavements and planting (even additional parking if required as an incentive). This would negate the need for two stage pedestrian crossings and move the town centre away from car-centric. It would practically guarantee some shift to cycling and in some ways negate the vagueries of the Broadwater – Town Centre route (particularly for cyclists heading south where Upper High Street meets the dual carriageway of North Street).

Wish type(s): Long-term aim, New infrastructure, Safety Improvement

Build a cycle path connecting Worthing to destinations north of the Downs. A parallel route running alongside the A24 on the eastern verge, where there is plenty of room.

Wish type(s): Long-term aim, Safety Improvement

20mph speed limits on all residential roads. This is community-wide objective, not just a cycling objective

Wish type(s): Long-term aim, New infrastructure

New cycle / pedestrian bridge over the railway to connect Princes Avenue and Elm Grove.

Reworking/renewing the bridge over the railway at West Tarring allotments to allow people to be able to cycle over it/improved wheelchair/pushchair access.
