Liverpool City Council A506 Longmoor Lane Route Action Plan

Main Content

The A506 route stretches from the Black Bull junction to Liverpool's boundary with Knowsley.
Of all major traffic routes across the city, the A506 has one of the highest numbers of people killed or seriously injured per kilometre length over 4 people have been Killed or Seriously Injured in a collision per kilometre of road length.
Along this route our Road Safety Engineering Team have identified a number of issues for improvement such as poor pedestrian crossing facilities, faded road markings, parking abuse, speeding at certain locations, large road widths and traffic congestion.
Schemes will be delivered in phases between 2008 and 2011.Details and drawings of these will be available at a later date on this site.
