Market Harborough Gets Smarter Roads | Leicester News

Market Harborough is getting a smart, walkable upgrade with new road tech rolling out on Rockingham Road — the first of its kind in Leicestershire. Expect wider sidewalks, smarter crossings with raised tables, and intelligent road studs that light up to warn drivers of pedestrians and cyclists, especially at night or in bad weather. The project aims to boost walkability, bikeability, and traffic flow as the town grows — funded by developers and Active Travel England, not taxpayers. Work begins this month at Gores Lane, wrapping by November, with full Phase 1 done by late March 2027. Check the county council’s website for live updates.
