Traffic Filter Integration with Kerbside Management Technology in Lambeth
26th March 2025 / Posted by Katherine FairfaxCRP have recently published an informative case study on Traffic Filter Integration with Kerbside Management Technology in Lambeth, as part of the Defra-funded Kerbside Management Trial.
CRP worked with London Borough of Lambeth and Grid Smarter Cities to trial 2 Virtual Loading Bays (VLB) along The Cut, Waterloo, located either side of an existing traffic filter.
Virtual Loading Bays (VLBs) are dedicated spaces at the kerbside that can be pre-booked by participating operators to load and unload goods using the Grid Kerb booking platform.
The trial also incorporated the ability for freight and servicing vehicles to pass through the existing traffic filter at the junction of The Cut and Short Street when they booked the VLBs via the Kerb platform. The aim was to reduce the number of freight and servicing vehicles travelling down smaller residential streets (e.g. Boundary Row), reducing vehicle circulation and emissions, and improving delivery driver efficiency.

The Kerbside Management Trial is part of Smarter Greener Logistics (SGL) a Defra-funded project led by Westminster City Council in collaboration with 25 project partners. The project aims to minimise the impact of freight on noise, air quality, traffic and pavement space in London by making improvements across 14 London boroughs and two London Business Improvement Districts (BIDs).
