Boorley Green Traffic Calming

Hampshire County Council has developed a range of traffic calming measures for Boorley Green. Work is expected to start in late summer/early autumn 2026. Please view the improvements and location plan.

The improvements will include:

Maddoxford Lane – one build-out and one pinch point, including an uncontrolled crossing
Oatlands Road – two pinch points (one including an uncontrolled crossing), with one located at each end of the road
Winchester Road / Maddoxford Lane junction – junction tightening to help slow traffic
Winchester Road (near the Pear Tree Inn bus stop) – improvements to the uncontrolled crossing point
Winchester Road / Oatlands Road junction – installation of tactile paving

Why build-outs?
Build-outs, also known as kerb extensions, help slow traffic by making roads feel narrower. This encourages drivers to reduce their speed and pay more attention to their surroundings.
They can also make routes feel less direct, which may discourage drivers from using residential streets as shortcuts (“rat runs”). In turn, this can help reduce both traffic speeds and volumes.Overall, build-outs help create calmer, quieter streets that are safer and more suitable for local communities.

The Director of Universal Services formally approved the Project Appraisal on 1 May 2026 to implement the scheme. Please view the Decision Report.

So as not to delay the implementation of the traffic calming scheme, the Crows Nest Lane scheme is being delivered separately. For updates, please visit the dedicated scheme webpage.

Public engagements for this scheme took place in 2017 and 2023.

The report summarises key findings from the feedback survey which took place from 16 October to 3 December 2023 . This engagement provided an opportunity for local residents and businesses to provide their views on the proposed improvement scheme. You can still view the information pack.

In 2017, a consultation was undertaken on a different set of traffic calming measures. These measures were not progressed to delivery and the scheme was placed on hold. The results of the feedback survey in 2017 are presented in the Boorley Green Traffic management proposals report. The information pack for this consultation can be viewed here: Boorley Green Consultation Presentation 2017.

Funding for the transport capital delivery schemes is separate from the County Council’s revenue budget and savings proposals. In the majority of cases funding comes from external grants and / or Section 106 contribution from developers. This funding usually has conditions that strictly control on how, where and when it can be spent.
