The colourful yellow and orange pattern applied on the surfacing is an integral part of the work, designed to slow traffic down as well as reduce the dominance of cars.
Wirral Council has begun the legal process for repealing little-known local byelaws dating back some 90 years that effectively prohibited cycling, scooting or horse riding along one of the borough’s most-loved coastal paths.
More than £8m was invested in highway maintenance across Wirral last year, with 239 roads and 92 footways around the borough improved, keeping them safe for everyone who uses them.
Wirral is due to see major investment in local transport following the Government's announcement of a massive funding injection across the country and city region.
Highways officials in Wirral have launched a trial alteration from today (April 23rd) to the traffic light signals at the Spital crossroads to assess its impact on safety and traffic flow at the junction.
More than £7 million could be invested on improving Wirral’s roads, footways and bridges in 2025-26 under plans which will be discussed at the next meeting of the Environment, Climate Emergency and Transport Committee.
