Traffic calming and speed reduction measures could be brought in on Barrowford Road if funding is secured from Lancashire County Council's Local Safety Schemes programme for 2007/8.Whether or not the location, leading out of Colne towards Barrowford, receives funding will depend on the recent injury accident record and competing demands for funding from elsewhere.
If the location is successful in attracting funding, then a comprehensive design scheme for traffic calming and speed reduction measures would be prepared, and a safety audit process undertaken.
In the meantime, there are certain actions which are being considered using existing budgets.
These include high visibility signage, "Slow" markings and rumble areas on the eastbound approach to the bend near the Nelson and Colne College annexe.
