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 our homezone or home zone, 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,
