agenda item 10 Traffic Management Requests & Petitions

Wycombe Local Committee 28 January 2003 contact officer: Mike Jones (01296) 382436

1 PURPOSE OF REPORT a To inform members of:

i. the requests received for various traffic management measures, of a significant nature, during the period 8 October 2002 and 13 January 2003 and the relative priorities for investigation allocated;

2 PROPOSED ACTION b The Local Committee is invited to:-

i NOTE the requests for traffic management measures received and the priorities allocated in Appendix A

ii NOTE the petitions received, the action to date and / or the action proposed, and

ii COMMENT on the priorities allocated and action proposed.

3 RESOURCES APPRAISAL c There are no direct financial implications at this time.

4 SUPPORTING INFORMATION d The measures requested, including those contained within the petitions, are listed in Appendix A. An indication of the “priority ratings for investigation” allocated is as follows:

High (H): 2 Medium (M): 3 Low (L): 3

NB: Priorities are not allocated to traffic calming, pedestrian crossing and footway requests at this time. These are assessed each year (normally December/January time) prior to the confirmation of the next year’s Local Safety and Area Strategy Schemes Programme. This year’s reviews are the subject of separate reports. Priority is given to proposed measures where clear casualty accident reduction benefits can be expected. Additional emphasis on facilities to improve conditions for public transport, Safer Routes to School, cyclists and pedestrians to meet the Council’s commitment to the Integrated Transport Strategy (ITS) and Local Transport Plan (LTP) will also be given. Schemes not having an accident reduction potential or ITS / LTP constituent are therefore unlikely to receive a high priority. e Members should note that all petitions received are reported but not all requests are reported. If the measures are clearly not viable or have been reported in previous “Traffic Management Requests and Petitions” reports presented to members, the correspondent is informed accordingly. f Generally, high priority items are further investigated to enable schemes, if appropriate, to be identified, programmed and implemented following the normal consultative and programming procedures. Where schemes do not have an injury accident reduction potential, they are unlikely to receive a high priority for implementation. Medium priority items will be left under review and incorporated with high priority items, where possible. Low priority items will have no further action taken.
