Speed Management on Maltese Roads Policy and Technical Guidance Manual Consultation Document 2 Speed Management on Maltese Roads Policy and Technical Guidance Manual Consultation Document Version 1.06c 05/04/2012 Front cover photograph courtesy of P.P. Barbara ii Executive Summary The “need for speed” The current road network links all the towns and villages and covers more than 2,300km (with nearly 800km of major roads) and our desire for increase mobility has changed both lifestyle and travel behaviour in Malta. As a nation, Malta has radically transformed from having one of the lowest per capita car ownership level in Europe in the 1970s to having one of the highest levels by 2008. Malta also has one of the highest car dependency rates in Europe. There are many factors which contribute to excessive or inappropriate use of speed, ranging from pressure on commercial drivers by fleet managers and employers to be more productive, lack of awareness of speed limits and in some cases since speed is a source of adrenalin rush for some drivers. Many drivers overestimate their driving skills and believe that it is possible to travel above the speed limit without placing themselves or others at risk. With an average of one road traffic accident every 30 minutes, albeit with minor damage to vehicle or roadside infrastructure, an average of three people are hospitalised every day. Excessive or inappropriate use of speed is identified as a key risk factor in road traffic injuries and this policy attempts to scientifically analyse and explain possible measures to improve road safety though better speed management. Road functions The functions of roads and their structures differ considerably in built-up and rural areas. The classification of each road by its particular function reflects use in most cases and provides a basis for the consistent application of a speed management policy. Classification of roads for flow, distributory and access functions will dictate their design construction and use and therefore impact the ultimate intended user speed. While national speed limits can be indicated as a factor that influences road design and their ultimate marked speed limits, local scale issues dictate the need for localised speed limits to be used in certain cases. As a start however, this policy seeks to clearly define the different road functions including new road functions of “linking” and “TEN-T” roads while reclassifying roads where their function has clearly changed over time. National Speed Limit regimes National speed limits are widely used to define acceptable speeds and to indicate the maximum speed for vehicles to travel so as to be compliant with the law. Set correctly, speed limits can help reinforce road users’ assessments of a safe speed and can act as an indicator for drivers as to the nature and risk level associated with the road. Across Europe, national speed limits are set for roads with particular functions and environments, but also for particular vehicle types. Introduced 16 years ago, the national speed limit regime in Malta contains many of the essential elements which are considered to be European best practice. Most major roads in Malta were built at a time where the national speed limit, and hence their design speed was lower than the current national speed limit of 80km/h. Spatial competition between road network and building construction often limits the ability of roads to be designed to provide optimum conditions. The policy seeks to determine the need to update these limits to take changes in traffic mix, road construction and vehicle technology into consideration. In this respect, the policy seeks to recommend a rationalisation of the speed limits applicable to vehicle types as well as to redefine some grey areas in function and environment factors to be taken into consideration when defining iii national limits. Further rationalisation of road use such as the prohibition of certain slow moving vehicles on certain roads and lane discipline are also contemplated by the policy. Local Speed Limit regimes No two roads are alike and there will always be situations where discrepancies between national speed limits for the road type, drivers’ perceptions of the safe travelling speed and the appropriate speed for that road, as established by theoretical analysis occur. At minimum, speed limits should reflect an appropriate balance between safety and mobility. On a road without marked speed limits, a driver will rely on his judgement of risk and perception of hazard in order to determine his safe operating speed. Some hazards may be obvious while others less obvious. Changes to the road environment will inevitably occur after the construction of the road often resulting in a wide discrepancy between the speed at which a road was originally designed and the speed at which vehicles on the road are observed to operate. Operating speed of vehicles on a section of road is an important factor in establishing safe speed limits for that road and a variety of theoretical best-of-breed measures are used to determine local speed limits that are then indicated by signs. Transition zones between different speed limit zones encourage gradual adjustment of speed in a safe manner. The policy proposes that a rationalisation process of speed limits be implemented to streamline local speed limits, including setting up of a structured methodology to determine local speed limits. Also ongoing monitoring of the road network is proposed, to ensure that the local speed limits are appropriate for the conditions of the respective road. Proposed speed limits for the arterial and distributory road network are annexed to the policy. Communicating these limits to the road user Generally speaking, drivers are well educated about their the national speed limits during the training and testing associated with obtaining the driving licence, and this is reinforced by information concerning national speed limits at ports and airports as well as by the of Posted Speed Limit signs on the road network. Road sign construction, location and clarity are all important factors if the road user is to heed the limits that they seek to convey. Furthermore road markings, illuminated or variable signage and other physical measures contribute to the understanding of the speed that a road user will apply. The policy recommends the replacement of all “national speed limit” signs to actual speed signs since they appear to be least understood by road users. It also recommends the introduction of new vehicle activated signs that indicate vehicle speed so as to increase awareness of actual speed that vehicles travel at. Further improvements to the quality of road markings and traffic management by introducing better accountability by entities supplying these measures will be complimented by road infrastructure safety audits. Educating the wider public The success of the speed management policy depends overwhelmingly on the acceptability of the community and community decision makers. Although there is clear evidence that speed and speeding are problematic, it is vital that speed management policies, which by their nature necessarily restrict driving behaviour and driving choices, are well managed and so as not to be ignored. Education, training and information are key to the success of a comprehensive speed management policy as well as being a pre-requisite for effective implementation of other measures such as infrastructure, signage, road makings, enforcement and vehicle technology. Starting at school with iv road safety awareness for children, effective use of the road network by various users is reinforced by driver training, testing and follow-up enforcement. The policy proposes that Road Safety could be established as part of the national learning curriculum. Further education on road safety and the driving test could be developed for pre-driver licence post- secondary level students as well as further investment in road safety educational materials and tools. The introduction of continued ability test for existing Driving instructors would ensure that driver training remains at its peak. Introducing a safe driving course model for Government employees would serve as a pilot with potential to be transferred to the private sector. The policy also indicates that continued media attention to speed policies by introducing a long-term media programme relating to speed management and other road safety issues would reinforce lifelong training and education to all road users. Enforcement for better road safety In a perfect world, speed limits on roads would be credible, self explanatory and motorists would adhere to safe driving speeds at all times and in all conditions. However, in the real world motorists regularly exceed the posted speed limits either inadvertently or deliberately. Enforcement can be both an effective educational tool and also be a powerful measure contributing directly to the reduction of speeding and associated traffic accidents, injuries and fatalities.

  • Documentary Sources for a Study of the Maltese Landscape Nicholas C
    16 Documentary Sources for a Study of the Maltese landscape Nicholas C. Vella and Mevrick Spiteri Tangible objects form a challenging kind of historic record. They challenge us because we know that objects have meaning if only we know how to decipher it; moreover by their very presence, and refusing to go away, objects demand to be interpreted. To archaeologists no form of material artefact is perhaps more challenging - tantalizing and illuminating at one and the same time - than the vast disorderly collection of human artefacts that constitute the cultural landscape. By cultural landscape, archaeologists (but also geographers) mean the total assemblage of visible things that human beings have done to alter the face of the earth for economic, social, religious, or symbolic purposes: quarries for the extraction of building stone and clay; dams to control water, cisterns to store it and conduits to deliver it for irrigation purposes and to sustain human and animal life; the purposeful manipulation of the earth's vegetative cover in farms, woodland, orchards and terraces; tracks, paths and roads used to transport objects and ideas; walls erected to subdivide land into manageable units and to separate portions of the earth from one another.1 Landscapes differ in appearance from place to place, not only because they are made up of changing ecosystems that are peculiar to a region or a place but also for the self-evident reason that all cultures have collective ambitions about the way they interact with the earth's surface to achieve different goals over time. It can be said, therefore, that landscapes are a kind of document, preserving traces of the cultural autobiography that humans have carved and continue to carve into the earth's surface.

  • Quarry Worry
    Quarry Worry Is there anything to worry about quarries? Why would we worry on just a deep pit which once was a piece of land? The problem is- it once was a piece of land. Most of the quarries end up useless open- pit mines with danger signs stuck on the outskirts. Stone is vitally to our modern lifestyle and so such requirement can only be established by cutting these stones from quarries. In the Maltese Islands, quarries are hollowed out to extract mineral resources from geological formations. The extracted raw materials are used mainly by the quarry industry for the construction of buildings connected to services and economic activities. Some of these examples include: houses, hospitals, offices, churches and roads. In Malta the localities were quarries can be found are Mosta, Valletta, Marsascala, Mellieha, Mqabba, Siggiewi, Qrendi, Zejtun and Swieqi. The problem with quarries is that each quarry has a specific lifetime within which the mineral resources can be extracted. In the case of Malta, this happens when the lower coralline limestone is encountered while quarrying. Quarries which were once of a social and economic benefit, end up being an irreversible scar in the landscape of the Maltese Islands. The disused quarries have to be closed as a good precaution of any harm; however the impact of quarries on the natural environment is endless. Direct impacts include loss of agricultural land which results in loss of natural habitats for animals and wild plants. Other environmental impacts include change in geological features, damaging for crops and fields, soil erosion and noise and dust pollution.

  • Exploring Institutional Evolution in the Development Planning System of a Small Island State: Malta

Gerrit-Jan Carsjens Land Use Planning Group Wageningen University Author: Kerli Kirsimaa Reg. No. 890217436030 [email protected] Study Program: Urban Environmental Management, Land Use Planning Group Course code: LUP-80436 (36 ECTS) Wageningen, October, 2013 Abstract Malta is a small densely populated island state in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea. Similarly to other small (island) states, Malta has to take into consideration the many challenges that its smallness brings to the country. The history of having been a British colony for 150 years has made Malta adopt most of its administrative and parliamentary system from the United Kingdom. As the Maltese Public Law was at the time already based on British model, the adoption of British planning legislation does not appear to have been questioned. What took place followed the concept of institutional transplantation, the transfer of institutions from one setting to another. Since the economic, political, cultural and spatial characteristics of the countries vary, the theory, developed by De Jong and Lalenis, that questions whether a transferred land use planning model is appropriate for the host society, can be applied. In Malta the first serious planning system was set up as late as in 1992 through the establishment of the Planning Authority which, to some extent, was based on British planning practices.
