Plans for new one-way streets and 20mph speed limits on as part of Lincoln Road Improvement Project in Peterborough
Residents in Peterborough have been consulted over proposed road changes as part of Lincoln Road improvement plans.
A multi-million pound scheme to make vital improvements to the area has been underway for a number of months now.
This involves construction of new raised uncontrolled pedestrian crossing points, new cycle stands and seating, improved paving, electric vehicle charging infrastructure, repositioning of the northbound bus border and a new zebra crossing near to the junction with Alma Road.
The improvements will enhance user experience for those that already live, work and visit the area as well as encourage more people to travel to Lincoln Road and support the diverse variety of businesses and services there.
The works started in April, and are due to be finished in the spring of 2026.
The total cost of the Lincoln Road project is £3.4m, with £2.4m of that cost allocated from the Government's Towns Fund. The city council said that additional funding will come from and other sources, including developer contributions.
Peterborough City Council has now launched a new series of consultations
20 mph speed limits
- Lincoln Road from its junction with Stone Lane to a point between Alma Road and Windmill Street
- Oxford Road and Stone Lane for their full lengths
One way streets

A series of new parking restrictions have also been proposed across the area, along Lincoln Road between Stone Lane and Alma Road.
