Artistic engineering - a creative solution for Allard Street bridge
We’re improving safety and minimising risk on the narrow Allard Street bridge in Brighton by creating a shared use zone for pedestrians, cyclists, and vehicles. We’re reducing the speed limit to 10km/h and highlighting the shared zone with a colourful, eye-catching “Road Garden” painted onto the bridge’s road surface by local artist Julia Gorman.
Decorative designs on roads have been associated with lower vehicle speeds and this creative traffic management solution is intended to minimise risks for all road and footpath users.
