Bristol City Council
Contractor: ETM Contractors
Job type: supply only
Project value: £ 50,000 +
Waste plastic prevented from potential landfill: 8,448kg
Bristol City Council has recently promised to invest in cycling and walking, and to initiate 20mph zones on all roads within the city ‘where possible’.
Research around the country has shown that in built-up areas, on non-arterial roads, where the speed limit is reduced from 30mph to 20mph there is typically an average decline in casualties of at least 20%.
To that end, extensive surveys have been carried out and designs completed to re-route various traffic flows and add traffic calming measures to others.
The Rotterdam planters have been chosen for many of these sites. The heavy duty recycled plastic means durability, no maintenance and an attractive alternative to concrete. They can be manufactured in bespoke sizes to fit all the various site requirements. Planted up, the planters will provide a colourful and cheerful addition to the city streets. Reflectors, lights and information signs can easily be added to the planters, so solving 2 issues at once.
Recycled plastic profiles can be added in shelved gradients to manage road camber as Enfield Council did in the picture below.
