Truro, Chellew Rd: Puffin Pedestrian Crossing

A new puffin pedestrian crossing is proposed for Chellew Road in Truro.

The survey is now open for responses until 27/08/2026.

What are we consulting on?

We are inviting comments on a proposal to introduce a new controlled pedestrian crossing facility within the existing signalised junction at the junction between Tregolls Road, Trevithick Road & Chellew Road/Beachwood Park, by upgrading the existing uncontrolled crossing facility to a controlled crossing arrangement.

It is therefore proposed to convert the existing uncontrolled crossing on Tregolls Road into a pedestrian crossing, operated via a push-button control, enabling pedestrians to cross the carriageway more safely and conveniently.

The proposal also includes the removal of the existing right-turn lane and its conversion to a grass verge, together with the conversion of the existing middle lane into a straight ahead and right-turn lane. These changes will enable the existing refuge island to be widened, simplify the current crossing arrangement, and improve the overall operation and safety of the junction for all road users.

For further details of the proposed location and layout, please refer to the site notice.

Why are we doing this?

It is considered that the introduction of these measures will increase the safety of pedestrians when crossing the road, where the current arrangement makes safe and convenient crossing difficult, particularly during peak periods.
