A10/Lincoln Road Junction walking and cycling improvements
We would like your views on proposals for changes to the A10 Great Cambridge Road and Lincoln Road junction.
By clicking on each of the following buttons, you can read more about the proposed changes and how they may impact you. You can also view the map, ask questions, give feedback, and find out about other ways to get in touch and take part.
You have until Friday 13 March 2026 to give us your feedback.
Proposals
Our scheme will provide new or improved pedestrian crossings on all ‘arms’ of the junction of the A10 Great Cambridge Road and Lincoln Road, and include a new direct east-west cycle crossing, as well as widened footways.
These proposals are illustrated in the following map.
The proposal in more detail
Western ‘arm’ of the Lincoln Road junction
- Widened footways to create a new shared use area for pedestrians and cyclists north of Main Avenue, linking to LB Enfield’s planned Enfield Town to Ponders End Station Walking and Cycling Route
- The upgrade of the existing crossing north of Main Avenue into a new parallel pedestrian and cycle zebra crossing on a raised table
- Widened footways to create a new shared use area for pedestrians and cyclists, linking the upgraded crossing to A10 Great Cambridge Road
A narrower carriageway reduced to a single lane with the left turn from Lincoln Road into the A10 Great Cambridge Road to be banned for vehicles- The closure of the service road access point to create a new shared use area for cyclists and pedestrians. This would allow us to introduce a new signalised cycle crossing across the northern ‘arm’ of the junction and a new crossing over Lincoln Road
- A new signalised staggered pedestrian crossing over Lincoln Road (west)
- Widened footways with potentially new low-level Sustainable Drainage System (SuDS) planting south of Main Avenue. These are subject to surveys of the ground which we have yet to undertake
- The replacement of the existing uncontrolled crossing on Main Avenue with a narrower crossing on a raised table (subject to LB Enfield’s future scheme proposals)
Northern ‘arm’ of the Lincoln Road junction with the A10 Great Cambridge Road
- A new straight across signalised cycle crossing over the A10 linking the proposed new shared use area for cyclists and pedestrians, linking to LB Enfield’s planned Enfield Town to Ponders End Station Walking and Cycling Route on either side
An improved signalised staggered pedestrian crossing over the A10 Great Cambridge Road with a widened central island- A new entry only access point from the A10 Great Cambridge Road to the service road (traffic exiting the service road would do so via the existing Southbury Rd access to the north). This would require the removal of 30m of informal parking opposite 149, 147A and 147B Great Cambridge Road to maintain access and visibility around the new access
- Widened footways to create a new shared use area for pedestrians and cyclists. This is enabled by the removal of the left-turn slip road from the A10 Great Cambridge Road southbound to Lincoln Road eastbound. Left turn movements would remain possible via a new combined straight ahead/left-turn lane
- The closure of the existing A10 turn-around opening in the central reservation located north of the junction in front of the Lincoln Road (Stop H) bus stop
Eastern ‘arm’ of the Lincoln Road with the A10 Great Cambridge Road junction
- The replacement of the existing pedestrian signalised staggered crossing with a new staggered Toucan crossing over Lincoln Road (East). A Toucan crossing is intended to be used by cyclists and pedestrians together, without the need for cyclists to dismount
- Widened footways to create a new shared use area for pedestrians and cyclists, linking to LB Enfield’s planned Enfield Town to Ponders End Station Walking and Cycling Route to the east
Southern ‘arm’ of the Lincoln Road with the A10 Great Cambridge Road junction
- An improved signalised staggered pedestrian crossing over the A10 with a widened central island and better-spaced crossing locations. This would make it easier for pedestrians to cross here
Why?
A10 Great Cambridge Road junction with Lincoln Road The Mayor of London is committed to tackling air pollution, promoting public transport and making our streets safer. The Mayor’s Transport Strategy sets a target for 80 per cent of trips to be made via walking, cycling or public transport by 2041.
The junction of the A10 Great Cambridge Road and Lincoln Road is difficult to navigate for pedestrians and cyclists, and there is a risk that people walking or cycling could be hurt here in future. The London Borough of Enfield is delivering a new walking and cycling route to link Enfield Town to Ponders End. Our proposals would provide a vital link in Enfield’s new proposed walking and cycling route, helping pedestrians and cyclists to move through the junction easily and safely.
A further reason to introduce these proposals is that the junction and its pedestrian crossings do not meet current standards. We propose that the junction would be improved with new facilities for cyclists and pedestrians. This would make the junction a more pleasant area for pedestrians and cyclists and reduce the potential for collisions in the future.
How it may affect you
If you are walking
We propose a range of changes that we expect would make the junction of the A10 Great Cambridge Road and Lincoln Road more pleasant and easier to navigate for people walking. The proposals include new signalised pedestrian crossings and widened footways, amongst other improvements.
If you are cycling
The new junction would feature a new straight across signalised cycle crossing enabling a continuous and safe east-west journey from Main Avenue to Lincoln Road (east) along LB Enfield’s planned Enfield Town to Ponders End Station Walking and Cycling Route. This is supported by additional improvements for cyclists around the junction:
The upgrade of the existing crossing into a new parallel pedestrian and cycle zebra crossing on a raised table over Lincoln Road north of Main Avenue- The replacement of the existing pedestrian signalised staggered crossing with a new staggered Toucan crossing over Lincoln Road (east)
- New shared use areas at several locations
- Reduced segregation with improved cycle permeability
We would therefore expect that people cycling would find the junction easier and safer to use in future.
If you are travelling by bus
We are not making any changes to the bus stops or bus services through the area as part of this scheme. We would not expect bus journey times to be affected by our proposals.
If you are travelling by car, van or a motorcycle
The scheme is designed to have a limited impact on journey times for general traffic. Amongst other proposals, our proposed changes include the closure of the service road access on Lincoln Road (west) and the closure of the left-turn from Lincoln Road onto the A10 Great Cambridge Road for eastbound traffic. While some arms will become busier and run closer to capacity, the scheme will not cause major delays at this junction once construction is completed.
