Report 46 - November 1999

Signs, lines, humps and bumps - we need them to control traffic, but they often spoil the appearance of our most treasured town centres and historic places.

For a number of years, EHTF has advocated a better approach to the design of traffic measures - and we have had some success. With the Forum's involvement, the DETR published Traffic Advisory Leaflet 1/96 'Traffic Management in Historic Areas', which encouraged design sensitivity in the implementation of traffic measures. However, the centrepiece of our work has been the Historic Core Zones (HCZ) project.

The HCZ schemes in Bury St Edmunds, Halifax, Lincoln and Shrewsbury sought to exemplify these aims. Each of the schemes proved successful in its own way, we have learnt a good deal from these. (For details of the outcomes see HCZ Review).
