    DISTRICT OF EPPING FOREST LOCAL HIGHWAY PANEL – 25 NOVEMBER 2010 REPORT BY AREA HIGHWAY MANAGER – ESSEX COUNTY COUNCIL Purpose of report To provide Members with a report on Highway issues within Epping Forest District. To provide sufficient information on schemes so that decisions on local priorities can be made. Members are invited to offer suggestions and requests for future works. Background A programme of Capital works for 2010/11 has been implemented. This report will provide details of the programme with the status of the schemes. Members are asked to consider the schemes District wide and suggest additional schemes that might be investigated for possible inclusion in a future programme of works. Maintenance Appendix A (page 9 and 10) details the proposed Capital Maintenance Programme. Members will be pleased to note that the majority of schemes are now complete. Traffic Improvements The capital traffic schemes set for the Epping Forest District are detailed within Appendix B (page 11 and 12) Safer Roads Improvement Programme Within the Epping Forest District, two locations have been identified for the 2010/11 programme: A414 Canes Lane, North Weald Bassett The design for this scheme is now complete and a start date on site is currently being agreed with the Contractor. Officer currently anticipate that this will be December, subject to the results of the safety audit. Common Road, Roydon This scheme is now complete. Officers are also currently carrying out a route study along A113, Abridge from Ongar to Passingford Bridge. A safety audit is currently underway on the proposed design. 1 Signage for speed limit review The review within the District on speed limits to ensure that they are within the guidelines set by the Department for Transport (DfT) circular 1/2006 and the new ECC Speed Management Strategy is on going.

  • Advice on Road Crossings for Equestrians in England and Wales
    Advice on The British Road Crossings for Equestrians Horse in England and Wales Society The law and management of public access rights vary widely between the four countries of the United Kingdom. This advice note is written for England and Wales and although elements of the advice may be applicable in Scotland and Northern Ireland this cannot be assumed. If this is a saved or printed copy, please check www.bhs.org.uk/accessadvice for the latest version (date top of page 2). In providing specifications for ways and facilities for equestrians, the British Horse Society considers all equestrian users (those riding, leading or driving horses). This may result in a high specification which might not be appropriate in all circumstances. The recommendations should be read with this in mind. If the specification seems inappropriate in a situation, the Society strongly advises consultation with its local representative to establish what may be acceptable at a particular site. Sites vary so much that BHS specifications can only be general in nature and may require tailoring for any site. Routes used by equestrians include bridleways, byways, unsurfaced unclassified roads, quiet lanes, permissive paths, commons and public open space; most of which leave riders and carriage-drivers no choice but to use busy roads to reach them. Generally, crossing a main road is much preferred by equestrians as far safer than proceeding for any distance along it. An underpass or overpass are the ideal for crossing a busy road but commonly cannot be provided on the grounds of cost or available space and an at grade crossing is the only option.

  • Committee Management Information System
    EXECUTIVE DATE: 20 OCTOBER 2003 SUBJECT: ASSESSMENT OF FORMAL PEDESTRIAN CROSSINGS REPORT BY: HEAD OF ENGINEERING & TRANSPORTATION CONTACT OFFICER: PETER TILBURY 01582 547161 IMPLICATIONS: LEGAL STAFFING EQUALITIES COMMUNITY SAFETY FINANCIAL RISKS OTHER CONSULTATIONS: COUNCILLORS CONSULTED SCRUTINY COMMITTEE CONSULTED STAKEHOLDERS CONSULTED OTHER WARDS AFFECTED: ALL LEAD EXECUTIVE MEMBER(S): COUNCILLOR R. DAVIES RECOMMENDATION(S) 1. Executive is recommended to agree the proposed assessment criteria for the provision of formal pedestrian crossing facilities. REPORT 2. The purpose of this report is to inform the Executive of proposed assessment criteria for the provision of formal pedestrian crossing facilities. 3. In April 1995, the then Department of Transport (now the Department for Transport - DfT) issued Local Transport Notes 1/95 and 2/95 giving guidance on the assessment and design of pedestrian crossings. These guidance notes altered the previous government advice significantly, with a more thorough yet flexible approach being advocated. The guidance is solely aimed at zebra and pelican/puffin crossings and does not apply to pedestrian crossing facilities at traffic signal-controlled junctions. Based on this guidance a new criterion for the assessment of pedestrian crossings in Luton is being proposed. While the assessment is clearly somewhat involved, Members are asked to acknowledge that a wide range of factors are now taken into consideration in determining whether a pedestrian crossing is provided and can be used to rank the provision of pedestrian crossings in terms of priority. Page 1 of 13 BACKGROUND 4. The old (pre-1995) Department of Transport guidance suggested that formal pedestrian crossing facilities should be assessed on the basis of the PV² value (the factor of the square of the vehicle flow [V] at the location and the volume of pedestrians crossing [P]).

  • Pedestrian Crossings
    Appendix 10 Pedestrian Crossings The design of controlled pedestrian crossing facilities (Puffin, Toucan, Pegasus and Zebra) will be in accordance with all relevant current standards and will take into account all current design guidance. Any departure from current design standards and any significant departure from current design guidance must be approved by the Service Director, Infrastructure Management & Operations. Choosing which crossing is most appropriate and indeed where it should go is a sometimes difficult job as there are many competing demands and criteria related to safety and amenity that must be fulfilled in order for the crossing to be well used and beneficial to the travelling public. A PUFFIN CROSSING is a signal controlled pedestrian crossing where the lights controlling the pedestrians are on the near side of the road. The system also utilises sensors which detect the presence of pedestrians waiting at the crossing and as they are crossing the road. If after pushing the button the pedestrian decides to cross before the 'green man' appears, the sensor detects this movement and can automatically cancel the requested 'demand' if there is no one else waiting to cross. A TOUCAN CROSSING is a signal controlled pedestrian crossing that also allows bicycles to be ridden across. A PEGASUS CROSSING is a signalised pedestrian crossing with special consideration for horse riders. At a minimum, these crossings are in the form of a pelican crossing but simply have two control panels, one at the normal height for pedestrians or dismounted riders, and another one two metres above the ground for the use of mounted riders.
