We want to know what you think of our plans for changes to the highway on Inverness Place.
What we are proposing
Our proposals would introduce:
- A tabled zebra crossing on Inverness Place, near its junction with Dalcross Street.
- Tactile paving and dropped kerbs, to improve footways and crossing points near the junction.

Why we are proposing improvements
We are proposing improvements to help create a safer environment for everyone and support active travel. By, for example:
- encouraging lower vehicle speeds along Inverness Place, and
- improving pedestrian crossing facilities, particularly for children travelling to and from Roath Park Primary School.
Funding
We are seeking funding for these proposals from the Welsh Government Active Travel Fund.
Subject to funding, we plan to deliver the scheme during the 2026 to 2027 financial year.

More information about traffic measures
Find out what each term means:
Zebra crossing
These are suitable for sites with medium levels of pedestrian demand and vehicle flow, where a puffin crossing would not be suitable.
This type of crossing can benefit pedestrians as there is no minimum waiting time for the right to cross. Zebra crossings can be combined with build-outs.
These can:
- improve visibility for drivers and pedestrians,
- reduce crossing distances, and
- help pedestrians show that they are planning on crossing a road.
Tabled zebra crossing
This is where a zebra crossing includes a speed table, or is sited at a tabled junction (either on its own or as part of wider traffic calming).
Build-out
This is a section of widened footway. We can use build-outs to:
- reshape junctions,
- define parking areas, and
- reduce distances for pedestrians when crossing.
They can improve visibility for everyone.
Tactile paving
This is a type of paving that helps to warn visually impaired users that there is no drop between the footway and road.
Dropped kerb
This is where the level between the footway and the road is reduced as much as possible, to help:
- wheelchair users,
- people with pushchairs, and
- other mobility impaired users.
Dropped kerbs are used for the simplest form of pedestrian crossing. They are also fitted with tactile paving.
