1 Background and Executive Summary

Gallows Corner is a five-arm junction in the Borough of Havering, linking the A12 Eastern Avenue and Colchester Road with the A127 Southend Arterial Road and A118 Main Road and Straight Road.

The junction has an above-average number of collisions. Following a period of detailed monitoring, in June 2014 we issued the results of a study report. Our A12/A127 Gallows Corner Roundabout Road Safety Review offered detailed analysis of a three year collision and traffic survey, and investigated the feasibility of remedial measures to reduce the collision rate. The report indicated that approach and entry speeds were the main underlying factor behind many of the collisions at the roundabout.

Between January and March 2016, we consulted on proposals for road safety improvements at Gallows Corner. Our proposal included changes to the layout of the roundabout to remove sharp turns and widen traffic lanes, and a reduced speed limit through the junction.

We received 340 responses to consultation. Views on the proposals were generally mixed, with our survey suggesting slightly more support than opposition to the plans. Design suggestions accounted for 82 per cent of the general comments we received. The common theme emerging from design comments was the view that the proposal did not go far enough. Suggestions for large scale improvements to consider included the introduction of traffic signals, a new flyover and anew underpass.

Comments in opposition to the proposals included the view that the main issue at Gallows Corner is driver behavior and difficulty entering the junction. Those in support commented that speed restriction measures and new lane markings are timely and would be welcomed.

We have considered the feedback from the consultation and have decided to proceed with this scheme based on our original proposal.

Given no unforeseen delays, we expect to be able to start work at Gallows Corner during spring 2018. Exact dates are subject to confirmation of funding and coordination with other construction work in the area.

This document explains the processes, responses and outcomes of the recent consultation, and sets out our response to issues commonly raised.

2 Introduction

2.1 Purpose of the scheme The main aim of the proposed scheme is to make it safer for vehicles to move through the roundabout and reduce the number of vehicle collisions that take place at the junction.

3 The consultation

The consultation ran from Friday 29 January to Sunday 13 March 2016 and was designed to enable us to understand local and stakeholder opinion about the proposed changes at the junction.

The potential outcomes of the consultation are: • We decide the consultation raises no issues that should prevent us from proceeding with the scheme as originally planned • We modify the scheme in response to issues raised in the consultation • We abandon the scheme as a result of issues raised in the consultation

The objectives of the consultation were: • To give stakeholders and the public easily-understandable information about the proposals and allow them to respond • To understand the level of support or opposition for the proposal • To understand any issues that might affect the proposal of which we were not previously aware • To understand concerns and objections • To allow respondents to make suggestions

3.1 Who we consulted The public consultation intended to seek the views of people living close to Gallows Corner and those who might use the junction to pass through the area. Therefore, we distributed a letter to addresses within a 500 metre radius of the junction and carried out a well-publicised drop in session at Shopping Centre in town centre.

We also consulted stakeholders including Havering Council, the Service, London TravelWatch, Members of Parliament, Authority Assembly Members and local interest groups.

A list of the stakeholders we consulted is shown in Appendix F and a summary of their responses is given in Section 6.

3.2 Consultation material, distribution and publicity We wrote a letter and prepared a drawing explaining our proposals. We distributed this to 1,875 local households and businesses. A copy of the letter and drawing is shown in Appendix B and a map of the distribution area can be found in Appendix D. The letter was also sent by email to stakeholders.

A leaflet and paper feedback forms were produced for use at a public drop-in session to help publicise the consultation to passers-by and encourage them to comment. A copy of the leaflet and the feedback form can be found in Appendix E.

We invited people to respond via a dedicated page on our website at ‘consultations.tfl.gov.uk/roads/gallows-corner-road-safety’, by email to [email protected], by completion of paper feedback forms at our public drop in session, or by letter via our FREEPOST address.

3.3 Meetings and drop-in sessions We met with London Borough of Havering’s Street Leaders Group on Thursday 14 January 2016 to outline our proposals and answer questions in advance of the consultation period. We encouraged attendees to have their say on the proposals once the consultation period commenced.

We held a public drop-in session on Friday 26 February 2016 at The Liberty Shopping Centre in Romford town centre. The session enabled us to hand out information to the public, engage in discussion and answer queries. We encouraged people to complete our online survey, or to complete paper feedback forms to make comments in writing.

We met with London Borough of Havering Councillors Ray Best, Roger Ramsey, Roger Evans and Keith Prince on Thursday 31 March 2016. We were invited to view Councillor Best’s suggestion for a new flyover at Gallows Corner. We discussed the pros and cons involved with a major redesign of the junction and surrounding area. We agreed to meet with Councillor Best again during 2016 for further discussions.

6 Responses from statutory bodies and other stakeholders

There were seven stakeholder responses to the consultation. These are shown below with a summary of the main points raised.

Confederation of Passenger Transport (CPT) Referring to an extended 30mph limit on each of the roads outlined in the proposal, CPT asked for assurances and more details of how the junction might be signed. They would like to allay any fears that signage will be in any way deemed inadequate for drivers, even if it were to be compliant with legal requirements.

Councillor Julie Wilkes, Ward, London Borough of Havering Supports proposals and would also like to see traffic lights implemented at the junction to ensure safety for everyone, in addition to a reduced speed limit.

Councillor Patricia Rumble, Gooshays Ward, London Borough of Havering Supports the proposals, and would also like to see new traffic signals installed at the junction, operating during the rush hour.

CTC London (Cyclists Touring Club) Support the proposals.

London Borough of Havering Supportive of the principle of improving safety at Gallows Corner, but said the proposals offer little to address congestion at the roundabout.

The Council argued that the entire junction, including the A127 flyover, requires fundamental change to improve traffic flow. It would like a substantial review of the operation of Gallows Corner and said it will make contact with the Mayor of London to ask for options to improve the junction to be looked into in greater detail.

Comments were provided on each section of the proposal as follows: • Support for speed reduction for vehicles around the junction and its approaches • Support for new guidance markings as these should reduce the potential for vehicles coming into conflict through encroaching across lanes. However in instances where Gallows Corner is heavily congested, drivers are unlikely to be able to see these markings on the road, and such conflicts could still occur. TfL should consider the introduction of advanced directional signage 19

displaying this information on the approaches to the junction so that drivers have advanced noticed of how to navigate Gallows Corner safely • Support the extension of 30 mph speed limits on the A12 and A127 approaches to Gallows Corner. The use of vehicle-activated flashing lights on the A12 approaches and A127 is also welcome, as these are an effective method of alerting a driver to reduce speed • Support consideration of pedestrians and cyclists when developing these proposals. Further consideration should be given to widening the shared use path on the southern section of the roundabout between A127 Southend Arterial Road and Main Road Comments were also submitted referencing existing issues at the junction that the Council said should be taken into consideration • The entrance to the Gallows Corner retail park currently involves drivers turning into the entrance shortly after exiting Gallows Corner at a high speed. This presents a conflict with pedestrians and cyclists. TfL should consider what measures could be put in place to warn drivers of this conflict • Currently pedestrians and cyclists have difficulty crossing the A12 Eastern Avenue. TfL are encouraged to consider whether a crossing similar to the one installed along the A127 approach to Gallows Corner would be appropriate for this location • TfL should also consider reviewing the waiting period for pedestrians and cyclists using the A127 crossing which can often be over a minute • The Council is delivering a scheme along Main Road which will involve remarking the westbound land as vehicles enter Main Road from Gallows Corner “”. It would be helpful if this could be reflected within the lane markings on the Gallows Corner roundabout to further assist drivers • The Council paid reference to the significant level of disruption caused as a result of past works to the A127 flyover, and to current work to replace nearby Bridge. If the works proposed for Gallows Corner are agreed, they request involvement in discussions on the timing of these. It is important that every effort is made to minimise disruption and maintaining an open dialogue between TfL and the Council will be essential to ensure that local residents and businesses are kept fully informed

London Fire and Emergency Planning Authority officers have visited the site and can confirm the proposed work will have little or no effect on operations.

The Brigade’s core principle will always be to provide the best possible service to the members of public we serve and to uphold the commitments made to the all of the communities that live and work in the London borough of Havering. A key area for the Brigade is to maintain and preserve our current attendance times for the borough of a first appliance attendance in under six minutes and a second appliance in under eight minutes.

Metropolitan Police – Roads and Transport Policing Command Support the proposals as these will help reduce the numerous slight injury and damage only collisions that probably occur at the junction on a regular basis.

Noted that a greater proportion of westbound traffic uses the flyover rather than the roundabout during the morning peak and suggested placing the A127 speed camera 20 metres further east to ensure compliance of traffic heading for the flyover.

Questioned whether the temporary speed restriction east of the flyover would revert to 40 mph after the Ardleigh Green Bridge works are complete, as the proposals would otherwise place threshold 30 mph speed limit 'roundels' within a 30 mph road (as it currently is - temporary restrictions).

Said a review of the collision statistics at the junction confirms a large number of reported ‘Personal Injury’ or ‘Serious Personal Injury’ incidents. Non reportable damage only incidences would multiply these figures ten fold on average. The large amount of traffic through the junction and the high number of collisions need to be taken into consideration in addition to collision statistics. Asked to ensure that these figures for Gallows Corner be taken into consideration for any improvement works.

7 Conclusion We received 333 responses from members of the public of which 49 per cent of respondents supported the proposals and 33 per cent did not. Eighteen per cent of respondents were not sure, did not answer, or had no opinion. We received seven responses from stakeholders.

The main aim of this scheme is to improve safety at the junction, based on analysis of its collision history, which showed approach and entry speeds to be an issue here. Difficulties in changing lane and failing to give way were also highlighted as being common factors. We remain of the view that the scheme we proposed will help address these safety issues.

Having considered the feedback from the consultation, we have decided to proceed with this scheme based on our original proposal.

Some respondents requested changes to the proposals which we have concluded are not possible to implement. Details of our response to these requests are shown within the issues raised table in Appendix A – Responses to issues raised.

We acknowledge that some respondents aspired to more substantial changes at the junction, and we have committed to further discussions with transport officers at the London Borough of Havering to explore development opportunities and the potential for wider economical benefits at Gallows Corner.

4.1 Next steps Given no unforeseen delays, we expect to be able to start work at Gallows Corner during spring 2018. Exact dates are subject to confirmation of funding and coordination with other construction work in the area. We will write to local residents and stakeholders nearer the time to confirm details of construction works.

Appendix A – Responses to issues raised This section summarises our responses to the main issues and concerns raised during consultation.

Traffic signals need to be installed at the junction The introduction of traffic signals would not improve journey times within the area. Whilst vehicles wait in turn to enter the roundabout, traffic would quickly build up on approach roads and impact on the strategically important A12 route into and out of London. Whilst the introduction of traffic signals might aid entry onto the roundabout, the resulting internal traffic queues would have a negative effect on its overall operation. Some respondents have highlighted traffic congestion as an issue at Gallows Corner and we would not want to worsen this situation.

We propose to improve driver behaviour by introducing changes to the layout of the roundabout to include an extension of the central island; and improvements to the positioning, curvature and size of traffic islands, give way signs and other street furniture. These measures are intended to make entry to the roundabout slower and safer.

Traffic congestion is an issue at the junction, in particular on the A12 Colchester Road and Main Road as traffic queues to enter the ‘KFC drive-thru’ restaurant We are aware of traffic congestion caused by traffic queuing to enter ‘KFC’, and anticipate that this will improve after speaking to the establishment in December last year. We will continue to monitor this situation.

The proposals do not go far enough to improve the junction. Larger scale improvements are required The main aim of this scheme is to address safety concerns at the junction. In-depth analysis gives a strong indication that approach and entry speeds are the main underlying factor behind many of the collisions at the roundabout. Difficulties in changing lane and failing to give way were also highlighted as being issues. Our proposals seek to address the immediate issues highlighted in our analysis in order to make the junction safer.

Having considered the responses to consultation, we remain of the view that the scheme we proposed will achieve this aim. However, we acknowledge that some respondents aspired to more substantial changes at the junction.

Working with the London Borough of Havering, we are developing an outcome plan for Gallows Corner. The outcome plan presents a more in depth analysis of the junction, providing detail on current performance, users and challenges as well as setting priorities and desired outcomes. The plan also identifies potential options for further consideration at the junction, should funding become available. We will continue to discuss these options and how they might support the exploration of development opportunities and wider economic benefits during 2017.

22

The main issue at Gallows Corner is poor driver behaviour. Many road users ignore lane markings As well as highlighting the issues with high speeds at the junction, our analysis also indicated that other causes of vehicle collision at the junction are failure to give way whilst on the roundabout, and difficulty changing lane. Our proposals seek to address these issues by making it easier and safer for drivers to navigate the junction. To do this, we have proposed new white lines and guidance markings across the junction to better direct traffic; and improvements to the positioning, curvature and size of traffic islands, give way signs and other street furniture which would offer greater visibility to vehicles passing through the junction.

Opposition to the introduction of speed cameras at Gallows Corner As mentioned above, our analysis shows that one of the main causes of vehicle collisions at Gallows Corner is excessive speed on the approach and entry to the junction. Existing cameras are being modernised and repositioned to manage the road network effectively.

The existing speed camera on the A127 westbound should be sited 20 metres further east to ensure compliance of traffic heading for the flyover We are working with Metropolitan Police in extending this speed camera location as part of our co-ordinated works.

Concern that the proposed works would cause too much disruption and would worsen congestion We have decided to proceed with this scheme based on our original proposal. We will work closely with Havering Council to minimise any disruption related to this scheme. The proposed dates for construction are dependent on other works in the area. Once dates are set, we will inform local residents.

Facilities should be improved for cyclists and pedestrians Our analysis identified no immediate safety concerns to pedestrians and cyclists using the roundabout and its existing crossing facilities. We propose to declutter and widen footways, making improvements to accommodate the existing pedestrian and cyclist usage along the shared footway.
