2. ROAD TRAFFIC

Traffic Flows 2006

2.1 Road traffic figures and traffic growth for Rochdale must be treated with caution since the sample size for a single district is smaller than for the county as a whole. Appendix 1 gives 24-hour annual average weekday (AAW) traffic flows and the most recent 12 hour (07:00-19:00) pedal cycle flow information for all major road links in Rochdale.

• The busiest motorway section was on the M62 between Junctions 18 and 19 where the traffic flow reached an estimated 143,200 vehicles.

• The busiest all purpose road was the A58 Manchester Road in Sudden where flows reached an estimated 48,100 vehicles on the stretch just east of Edinburgh Way.

• The second list in Appendix 1 shows that the road with the highest recorded pedal cycle flow is the A664 Rochdale Road between Hollins Lane and Slattocks Road with 120 cycles between 07:00 and 19:00.

• The average 12-hour pedal cycle flows on A and B roads in Rochdale are 54 and 41 respectively. These were considerably below the Greater Manchester averages of 85 and 86 cycles respectively.

Motorway Traffic Growth 2005-2006

2.2 Due to insufficient reliable manual count data, motorway traffic growth has been calculated using a combination of manual counts and 24-hour average weekday ATC data supplied by the Highways Agency.

2.3 Table 1 gives 24-hour average weekday flows on eight motorway sections in Rochdale for which ATC or manual data were available in both 2005 and 2006, together with percentage changes in flow since 2005. It also gives countywide figures based on 50 motorway sections.

• Traffic flow at the surveyed sites showed no change since 2005 compared with a countywide increase of 1%

A and B Road Traffic Growth 2005-2006

2.4 Table 2 gives average 12-hour traffic flows on A and B roads in Rochdale in 2006, together with percentage changes since 2005. The figures for A and B road growth are based on counts on 15 of the 64 A and B road links in Rochdale.

• All motor traffic on A and B roads in Rochdale decreased by 1% between 2005 and 2006, while Greater Manchester traffic flows remained unchanged.

Traffic Growth Since 1993

2.5 Table 3 and Figure 1 illustrate local and national traffic growth since 1993. Traffic growth in Rochdale and Greater Manchester is based on 12-hour average weekday flows on a sample of A and B road traffic flows throughout Rochdale and Greater Manchester. National growth is based on average 24-hour average daily traffic flow data for major urban A roads published in Table 2.1 Road Statistics 2006, Traffic, Speeds and Congestion DfT.

• Traffic flows on Rochdale’s A and B roads have fallen slightly since 2005. Traffic growth on A and B roads between 1993 and 2006 was 5% in Rochdale, 2% in Greater Manchester and 6% nationally.

3.4 The information for bus mileage is based on a bus registration database maintained by the GMPTE. These figures reflect the services as registered by bus operators. NB Data from 2001 onwards has been revised from previous editions of this report.

3.5 GMTU does not currently undertake bus patronage monitoring except for scheme-specific monitoring. Any information on trends in bus patronage should be obtained from GMPTE.

3.6 Table 11 shows commercial and subsidised annualised bus mileage from 2001 to 2006 and in 1985 (pre-deregulation year).

• Total bus mileage in Rochdale remained unchanged between 2005 and 2006 but a smaller proportion (24%) was subsidised than in 2005 (28%).

• 7% of Greater Manchester bus mileage is operated in Rochdale.

4 KEY CENTRE MONITORING

4.1 Traffic and rail counts were conducted on a cordon around Rochdale in 1997. Since then, Rochdale has been surveyed on a three yearly cycle (1999, 2002 and 2005) to monitor progress towards key objectives in the first Greater Manchester Local Transport Plan (GMLTP) and its successor, GMLTP2. Pedestrian surveys were added to the programme in 2002.

4.2 Tables providing details of road traffic and modal share trends are presented in this report. It should be noted that CPS (Continuous Passenger Sampling) data has been used to estimate bus trips. This data is not designed to give an accurate picture of bus passengers at a local level but it is the only data available.

4.3 For GMLTP2, the DfT requires an annual count of traffic on busy roads (more than 2,000 vehicles per day) approaching key centres in Greater Manchester, just outside the areas where key centre parking occurs. However, it was agreed with the DfT that these counts should be undertaken on the key centre cordons for consistency with and to complement and add value to the other key centre monitoring. The counts cover the morning peak period (07:00-10:00) and are continuously undertaken for at least two weeks. The base data for Rochdale is provided in Appendix 3, which presents a list of the sites that meet the DfT requirement, a summary of all sites, and individual profiles for each site.

4.4 All vehicles crossing a cordon into Rochdale key centre were counted in the three time periods 07:30-09:30, 10:00-12:00 and 16:00-18:00 on a typical weekday in April 2005.

4.5 Tables 13 to 15 show manual traffic counts at each individual cordon site in April 2005 by time period. Figure 2 shows the locations of these sites and the key centre boundary.

5 ROAD ACCIDENTS AND CASUALTIES

5.1 There were 642 accidents in Rochdale during 2006 resulting in 901 casualties. This compares with an average of 1316 casualties in the base years (the average annual casualties in the years 1994 to 1998). There were 60 killed or seriously injured (KSI) casualties in 2006 compared with an average of 107 KSI in the base years.

5.2 Local targets for 2010 have been set as part of the second Local Transport Plan (GMLTP2). These are a 50% reduction for KSI casualties, a 55% reduction for child KSI accidents and a 30% reduction in slight casualties relative to base years average. Unlike the first Local Transport Plan (GMLTP), the annual figures for the KSI and Child KSI are represented by a three-year average. Thus the average of 2004, 2005 and 2006 represents 2005. This has been done to reduce the variability due to the statistically small number of casualties in these groups. The targets are all more rigorous than the national targets which are for a 40% reduction in KSI casualties, a 50% reduction in child KSI casualties and a 10% reduction in slight casualties per vehicle kilometre.

5.3 Table 24 shows the base, 1999-2006 figures and GMLTP2 targets for KSI and child KSI casualty groups. Table 25 the base, 2001-2006 figures and target for slight casualties.

• The three-year average number of KSI casualties for 2005 was 33% below the base.

• The three-year average for child KSI casualties was 43% below the base.

• Slight casualties in 2006 were 30% below the baseline average.

6. CONGESTION

6.1 Congestion data comes from the Mott MacDonald CJAMS System based on historic vehicle tracker data and is used under licence from ITIS Holdings. It has been used to measure the congestion indicator LTP7 in GMLTP2.

6.2 The journey time rates quoted in this report are the sum of the average link times divided by the sum of the link lengths for the set of links and time period under consideration. The link times are the average of observations for the 12-month period running from September to August.

6.3 Tables 31 to 33 show average journey time rates in minutes per mile on A and B roads with a 30 mph speed limit, for 2003/04, 2004/05 and 2005/06, respectively.

6.4 Figure 9 illustrates average journey time rates by quarter hour period for 2005/6. Figures 10 to 14 illustrate the change in average journey time rates (minutes per mile) over the last three years for various time periods. Congestion maps showing average speeds can be found in Appendix 4.

• The most congested time of day on A roads (with a 30mph speed limit) was between 17:00 and 17:15, when the average speed was slightly under 17 mph.

• The most congested time of day on B roads (with a 30mph speed limit) was between 08:15 and 08:30, when the average speed was just below 14mph.

APPENDIX 1

TRAFFIC FLOWS ON MAJOR ROADS IN 2006

LISTS OF TRAFFIC FLOWS ON MAJOR ROADS 2006 This Appendix includes the following information:

• A list of traffic flows on major road links in Rochdale in 2006 sorted by road class and all motor flows.

• A list of traffic flows on major roads in Rochdale in 2006 sorted by 12-hour pedal cycle flow.

The motor vehicle flows are estimates of the 24-hour, annual average weekday flows. They are based mainly on 12-hour manual classified traffic count and ATC data collected as part of the Unit's countywide monitoring programme. They represent the flow at a specific point on each link. Flows on links not counted in 2006 have been estimated by applying average countywide growth factors to earlier counts. Therefore the flows given here, whilst being our best estimates for 2006 cannot be used to indicate growth since 2005 on individual links.

Two sets of pedal cycle flows are presented: the counted 12-hour flows and an estimate of 24-hour annual average weekday pedal cycle flows for 2006 using factors derived from a set of automatic cycle count data.

Maps showing motor vehicle flows, pedal cycle flows and DfT link numbers are included in Appendix 4.

ATC DATA FROM SITES ON KEY CENTRE CORDONS

ATC DATA FROM SITES ON KEY CENTRE CORDONS This section presents profiles of traffic entering the key centre, derived from automatic traffic counts over two consecutive weeks in April 2007 on roads with at least 2000 vehicles per day.

The first sheet presents total traffic flows. The five day average flow for time period 0700-1000, combined with those from the other key centres in Greater Manchester (excluding Manchester), provides the baseline for the mandatory indicator LTP6b: Peak traffic flows to other Greater Manchester key centres.

The second and subsequent sheets present data for each site as follows: Site Description Direction 00510661 B6223 Drake Street Northwest bound 00510670 B6266 Esplanade Northeast bound 00510680 Newgate East bound 00510690 Hunter's Lane East bound 00510701 Union Street Southeast bound 00510711 B6266 Smith Street West bound
