Derbyshire County Council have now released details of how they plan to use the £7.6 million investment from the Department for Transport’s Safer Roads Fund, to improve the A57 Snake Pass.
The proposed safety improvements, subject to a detailed public consultation later this year, include:
Up to 10 average speed camera sites along the route, with speed limit reminder signs.
Improving the junction of the A57 and Manor Park Road in Glossop, to narrow the road and reduce the time it takes to cross the road.
Pedestrian crossing at the Dinting Vale viaduct, to provide a safer walking route for pedestrians to the railway station.
Advanced ‘road restraint’ safety barriers, designed to prevent motorcyclists sliding under existing safety barriers, to reduce potential injuries.
Anti-skid friction surfacing, at bends and existing collisions sites, to help minimise braking distances.
The funding is being split between Derbyshire (£6 million) and the Sheffield City Region (£1.6 million).
