Local authorities in Guernsey have announced plans to install a new traffic filter aimed at mitigating growing safety concerns on busy island roads. This measure comes after a series of community consultations and careful analysis of recent traffic incident reports, which indicated an uptick in accidents at key junctions. The filter, expected to be operational by early next year, will selectively limit vehicle access during peak hours to reduce congestion and enhance pedestrian safety.

Key features of the traffic filter include:

  • Selective access for emergency and public transport vehicles
  • Automated monitoring with real-time traffic data collection
  • Community feedback integration through digital platforms
  • Installation of additional signage and road markings
