Overview

Transport for Norwich: consultation on proposals for an extension to the Yellow Pedalway on Holt Road (A140)

Norfolk County Council is asking for feedback on revised proposals for an extension to one of Norwich’s cycle-friendly routes, known as the Yellow Pedalway.

The aim of this project is to improve facilities for those walking, wheeling (using wheelchairs or pushchairs) and cycling on the A140 Holt Road, between Amsterdam Way and the roundabout with the Broadland Northway (A1270). It also aims to increase the number of bus stops for people using public transport and improve safety for all road users by reducing vehicle speeds on this major route.

We previously published an online consultation in August 2024 and invited you to take part. We have now reviewed the feedback and revised the proposals from your suggestions and invite you take part in a second consultation. 

The major change in the revised proposals includes a continuous shared use path on the west side of Holt Road without having to cross Holt Road until the Amsterdam Way junction. Crossing facilities and public transport provision have also been improved and subject to land agreement, an additional link between the Yellow Pedalway and the wider Hellesdon estate will be created.

The overall budget for this project is around £1.9m, with funding coming from the Greater Norwich Growth Board’s Infrastructure Investment Fund, the Department for Transport’s Transforming Cities Fund and Norfolk County Councils Local Transport Plan.

The documents below detail exactly what we’re proposing and why and the accompanying plans show what the project could look like on the ground.

After reviewing the proposals below please answer the questions in the online survey on the following page.
