Council bosses have been introducing the zones across the city over the past two years - and the Magdalen Road area is next on the list.

Magdalen Road itself and a number of residential streets which lead from it are all earmarked to become 20mph zones.

The public is being consulted and people have until February 20 to let the council know what they think.

Streets such as Buxton Road, Waterloo Road, Denmark Road, Knowsley Road, Beaconsfield Road and Spencer Street made 20mph zones.

As part of the £240,000 Transport for Norwich scheme, funded through Department for Transport Cycle City Ambition cash, other changes are proposed.

They include:

• A separate cycle track on the west side of Magdalen Road between its junction with Guernsey Road and its junction with Sprowston Road

• A new layout for the traffic light-controlled junction with Sprowston Road, including an independent signal phase for cyclists travelling south

• Raising tables to provide level footpath crossings.

A spokeswoman for Transport for Norwich said: “Proposals currently under consultation for the Magdalen Road area are designed to improve general road safety while providing better facilities for pedestrians and cyclists.

"I want to urge every woman to resist being discriminated against because of menstruation. I hope some people read wide and learn about menstrual health to stop the stereotype against young girls and women.
