Draft Black Country Plan

Representation ID: 45883

Received: 11/10/2021

Respondent: Transport for West Midlands

Representation Summary:

The way streets and places are designed and ultimately managed (i.e traffic regulations or the physical designs of our streets) are vitally important to help manage the overall levels of traffic, dominance of vehicles and how comfortable people feel using sustainable and active travel modes. Unfortunately, certain groups do not always feel safe (including women, transgender groups and disabled groups as examples), and so measures need to be implemented to tackle any barriers which exist in new developments, including appropriate safety measures. This point should therefore be set out more strongly in this policy section.
