Five Roads Forum:
The Residents' Association for the Five Roads Home Zone in West Ealing,
London. A home zone is a street or group of streets designed primarily to
meet the interests of pedestrians and cyclists rather than motorists,
opening up the street for social use.
This site is about Five Roads Home Zone, and also about the concept of
Home Zones, also knowns as "streets for people".
In Europe, the Homezone principle is known as woonerf (Dutch) or
verkehrsberuhigung (German).
Community involvement is necessary to improve urban liveability and the
urban environment via residential street design. This includes shared
surfaces, traffic calming, speed limit compliance and traffic restraint.
This should lead to safer streets, including pedestrian safety and bicycle
safety. Child safety is a key part of the Childrens Play Council
initiatives.
We are in Ealing, West London and include Arden Road, Broughton Road,
Denmark Road, Hartington Road, Hastings Road in the W13 postcode area.
