As part of the Department for Transport (DfT) Safer Roads Fund, Solihull Council was awarded £1.265m to deliver road safety improvements along the A41 corridor between Olton Hollow and Solihull Bypass.

The DfT analysed data over a 10-year period and found that the A41 corridor needed safety improvements to be brought forward.

Further analysis and investigation identified four key themes, which any proposed improvements will aim to address. These are:

  1. High vehicle speeds – identified as a corridor-wide issue
  2. Lack of crossing points – particularly crossing A41 Warwick Road and Seven Star Road at key locations
  3. Poor driver behaviour – particularly at junctions
  4. Roadside hazards – visibility and obstructions on the pavement

As well as the improvements, there has also been an allocation of funding for campaigns to improve driving behaviours and awareness.

The consultation ran from the end of October until 9 December 2024.

Thank you to everyone who provided their feedback, which will be considered and will be used to help inform the final proposals to be taken forward.
