A21 Route Treatment Project Feasibility Study Report A21 Route Treatment Project Feasibility Study Report May 2016 Prepared for: A21 Route Treatment Project Feasibility Study Report @ Mouchel Consulting 2015 A21 Route Treatment Project Feasibility Study Report Executive Summary Highways England has commissioned Mouchel Consulting to undertake a feasibility study of additional effective safety, accessibility and sustainability improvements that will work with, and complement, the installation of Average Speed Enforcement Cameras (ASEC), between Scotney Castle roundabout (south of Lamberhurst), and Hastings (Baldslow) on the A21. The A21 is an all-purpose trunk road serving as the main access route to Hastings from London and the North. The route forms a north-south link between the M25 at Junction 5 near Sevenoaks in West Kent and the Hastings Borough boundary on the south coast in East Sussex. The northern section of the route between the M25 and Lamberhurst is mostly dual carriageway. This study concentrates on the A21 south of the Lamberhurst bypass, from Scotney Castle roundabout to Baldslow. This 26km section of the route is a predominantly rural single carriageway which is considered to be of poor quality. It serves a number of villages and settlements in addition to forming part of the strategic road network. The main settlements on the route have a high degree of direct frontage access and there are also agricultural accesses throughout. Conflict between strategic through traffic and local trips, combined with the below- standard highway alignment, results in collision rates which are above the national average for severity ratio. As the route is single carriageway, recovery time from incidents is slow and this impacts on journey time reliability. Pedestrian facilities are generally only provided in and on the approach to the more built up village settlements and very little designated provision is available for Non- Motorised Users (NMU’s) to cross the A21. With the exception of village locations, there are generally no clearly identifiable footways serving bus stops, and a number of the existing bus stops are not sign posted. The only cycle facilities within the study area are at Scotney Castle Roundabout, and no specific equestrian facilities exist within the highway boundary. In the project brief, Highways England recognise that the A21 is a challenging route due to its complexity and the need to treat the route issues holistically. There are no easy blanket fixes and large scale projects have fallen short of the required economic benefit threshold at value management workshops in the past. In addition to these Page (ii) @ Mouchel Consulting 2015 A21 Route Treatment Project Feasibility Study Report challenges, the A21 runs through areas sensitive to environmental concerns including the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, (AONB). The project brief also states that the A21 has the worst personal injury collision record on the trunk road network and there is an imperative to improve that using a variety of measures. Currently Highways England has no major projects programmed for the route and as such there is an urgent need to address the issues on-line. The key aim of this desk based feasibility study is to propose consistent and strategic measures to improve safety, accessibility and sustainability along this section of the A21. This approach has been developed to compliment the planned installation of average speed enforcement cameras and Managing Agent Contractor, Balfour Beatty Mott MacDonald, (BBMMjv) safety and cycle facility improvement schemes. In addition to these known schemes, this report identifies potential route wide measures and specific treatments which may be considered and taken forward for outline design development and assessment as future schemes. It is intended that the combination of bespoke local schemes and consistent route treatments (in areas such as signing and road markings) will create an operational regime which is easily understood by road users, encourages compliance with speed restrictions and therefore contributes to improvements in the road safety performance of the A21. In order to understand the route and develop our proposals, data collection, review and analysis has been undertaken including a review of two reports detailing the BBMMjv proposed safety and cycle facility improvement schemes. (See Section 1.3 and Chapter 3 for further details). Following the review of existing reports, analysis of the most recent five years (2010-2014) of personal injury collision data for this section of the A21 was undertaken from the STATS19 database and this is reported in the A21 Collision Analysis Report, Mouchel Consulting, April 2016 . (See Section 4.1 for further details.) Information on existing Non-Motorised User (NMU) facilities was sourced and collated in the A21 Route Treatment, Lamberhurst to Hastings, NMU Context Report, Mouchel Consulting, April 2016, which includes identification of NMU objectives. (See Section 5.1) Stakeholders were also consulted through the Average Speed Enforcement Camera (ASEC) Working Group. Page (iii) @ Mouchel Consulting 2015 A21 Route Treatment Project Feasibility Study Report A21 route assessment workshops were then carried out. The first of these workshops focused on the identification of proposals to improve safety along the route and the second focused on NMU improvements. The workshops enabled the Mouchel project team to better understand the route, the existing layout and constraints, and they highlighted the current lack of route consistency. Following the safety workshop a strategy for measures to improve consistency and asset condition that would have positive safety benefits when applied for the entire route was developed, and a tiered standardised safety treatment structure for both the mainline and at junctions was developed. This tiered structure was then applied to address the individual areas which were identified as requiring intervention during the workshop. Chapter 4 of this report details our route safety proposals. A similar route wide strategy was developed for measures to improve accessibility and sustainability following the second workshop, and specific areas were also identified for treatment. Chapter 5 of this report details the NMU proposals. The main recommendations of this feasibility study include the following: - Undertake a detailed network review and technical surveys for the full length of the study area to identify and then implement measures to improve consistency and driver understanding of the route to encourage appropriate driver behaviour. (E.g. signing, road markings, consolidation of street furniture, coloured and high friction surfacing and visibility improvements.) - Regularly undertake all maintenance treatments which are likely to have road safety benefits (including replacing areas of worn road surfacing and road markings, cleaning signs and cutting back vegetation which is obscuring visibility and signing). - As the dark collisions without street lighting are above the national average, the installation of intelligent, or self-lit, road studs may be beneficial in some locations and should be investigated further. - Undertake a detailed review of direct vehicular access onto the A21 from private properties and farms to determine whether any accesses can be rationalised or relocated onto local roads. - Consider a local road safety awareness campaign for the A21 targeted at both motorised and non-motorised users. - Consider further development of the proposals at identified safety treatment sites in Section 4.4 of this report. Page (iv) @ Mouchel Consulting 2015 A21 Route Treatment Project Feasibility Study Report - Apply the standardised safety treatment structure for junctions and the mainline carriageway at areas where collision numbers and severity require intervention as a starting point to develop future improvement schemes. - Undertake a network review and survey focussing on accessibility and sustainability for the full length of the study area to identity opportunities to locally improve NMU facilities and identify wider existing and predicted future NMU usage patterns, including trip origins, key destinations and desire lines. - Consult with User Groups and work in partnership with Local Authorities to identify opportunities to provide new NMU facilities (to connect key destinations, other NMU routes and public transport) as off carriageway routes, outside the highway boundary where appropriate. Cycle facilities in particular should be provided as off carriageway routes for safety reasons. - Undertake specific reviews and surveys for the full length of the study area to identify and then implement measures to improve NMU facilities (e.g. signing, upgrading footways, consolidation of street furniture, upgrading access to bus stops and bus stop facilities and NMU crossings.) - Regularly undertake maintenance treatments to NMU facilities (including replacing areas of worn surfacing and road markings, cleaning signs and clearing vegetation growing over and obstructing footways and accesses to public rights of way, or obstructing visibility at NMU crossings). - Consider further development of proposals at identified NMU treatment sites in Section 5.3 of this report. - All improvement proposals progressed by others should be designed to ensure that route consistency is maintained. - Provision of facilities for NMU’s should be considered in any proposed schemes which are being developed by others. - If the schemes outlined in the BBMMjv Project

Some global and national organisations have recognised the size of this problem and introduced the “safe system approach ” approach as a successful guide for road safety management. The concept of this approach considers road safety as a system compiled of the elements of road infrastructure, mobility, and vehicles; which all should be designed to accommodate the vulnerability of the road users. This corrected the traditional view which considered road-user behaviour as the main contributing factor to the road safety problem. The question raised in this research is to what extent the safe system approach contributes to the national road safety strategic plans? To answer this question, an assessment of road safety performance is needed.

  • M5 Oldbury Viaduct Traffic Management Study Executive Summary
    M5 Oldbury Viaduct Traffic Management Study Executive Summary Oldbury and Park Street viaducts carry approximately 3km of the elevated sections of the M5 to the west of Birmingham between junctions 1 and 2. Constructed in 1970, it has deteriorated in recent years and has seen increased emergency interventions (55 in 2016). Therefore we need to repair and upgrade sections now in order to prevent bigger challenges and further disruption in the future. By maintaining this key corridor we’re delivering a huge investment that will support economic growth locally and in the wider West Midlands. Once complete, customers will benefit from a safer, more resilient route and enhanced driver experience. Other planned interventions on the strategic network in coming years include HS2, M6 J10 redesign, and on the local network, proposed Birchley island project and M5 junction 1 redesign. Therefore, we have a window of opportunitybetween April 2017 and autumn 2018 to complete this work at M5 Oldbury Viaduct. This section of the M5 motorway is particularly busy, carrying both local and strategic south-west and south-east to north-west traffic, with seasonal peaks. It is a commuter hub with traffic joining with the M6, other roads into and out of the Birmingham hub, and other cities in the region. Our engineers advised that in order to carry out the work safely, the carriageway would have to be treated in sections under traffic management. Four options were progressed to the modelling stage to understand impact and we chose the one that was safest, offered most value for money and most appropriate timeline.

Summary Position • Negative economic impact on the wider population • Inadequate economic bases for the Application • Abuse of Transport and Works Act 1992 legislation • Investment required on the A21 to improve the road to encourage tourism and other economic growth - not add further impediments by way of a level crossing • Growth in tourism is vital in our deprived coastal, rural communities - not just about the commercial position of Kent & East Sussex Railway • Additional pressure on Robertsbridge due to existing parking issues • Safety of level crossings - the creation of new level crossings on the national network is banned unless unavoidable • Highways England objects for reasons including safety and economic grounds 1. Rother Valley Railway (the Applicant) has submitted various documentation in its application for the above Order, none of which comprises, nor addresses, adequate economic bases for the Application. RVR’s Application focusses on what it perceives as the environmental argument in favour of a new stretch of railway through an area of High Weald AONB. 2. The Applicant commissioned a Local Economic Impact Study from Manchester Metropolitan University in 2007, with an update in October 2013. These reports provide an assessment of the socio- economic impacts of the re-construction of the railway (the Scheme) based on, for example, economic modelling, desk research and field work.

    Post Opening Project Evaluation M1 J10-13 HSR & Junctions One Year After Study October 2016 Notice Although this report was commissioned by Highways England, the findings and recommendations are those of the authors and do not necessarily represent the views of the Highways England. While Highways England has made every effort to ensure the information in this document is accurate, Highways England does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness or usefulness of that information; and it cannot accept liability for any loss or damages of any kind resulting from reliance on the information or guidance this document contains. Post Opening Project Evaluation M1 J10-13 HSR and Junctions: One Year After Study Foreword Highways England’s motorways are some of the safest in the world. Our road network carries a third of road traffic and we have seen demand grow by a quarter since 2000 with continued growth forecast. One reason for the introduction is smart motorways is because there are more vehicles on the road. By making use of the full width of the road, smart motorways add that extra capacity to carry more vehicles and ease congestion. They have evolved from Controlled Motorways (with variable speed limits) to Dynamic Hard Shoulder Running (opening the hard shoulder as a running lane to traffic at busy periods) to All Lane Running (permanently removing the hard shoulder and converting it into a running lane). Compared to a traditional motorway widening they deliver: • Increased capacity at significantly less cost than traditional motorway widening. • New technology and variable speed limits to improve traffic flow.

  • A21 Briefing from Highways England July 2019
    A21 SEVENOAKS TO HASTINGS ALL PURPOSE TRUNK ROAD Overview The A21 travels north south through Kent (M25 Chipstead) to East Sussex (Hastings). The route has gradually been upgraded predominantly from the M25 southwards - the last major project being the Tonbridge to Pembury dualling scheme completed in 2018. The route features strongly in the Highways England, South Coast Central, Route Strategy in terms of safety and congestion. As a result, a preliminary study was carried out which considered the opportunities for safety improvements and any further capacity improvements. The route strategy will support possible options for further safety and capacity improvement needs. Details of the next RIS will be announced by Government later this year and will be prioritised on the basis of strategic need, deliverability, buildability and value for money. Works undertaken on the route (last 5 years) These are works that we have carried out on the network, as well as some additional investigative activities. 1. Tonbridge to Pembury A21 dualling scheme completed 2018. 2. Kent cycle scheme funded in conjunction with Tonbridge to Pembury major project. 3. Double white lining south of Whatlington at Stream Lane and Ricards Lane junction to reduce collisions resulting from overtaking manoeuvres. 4. Resurfacing at A21 Kiln Down and Hurst Green Village including new markings and strengthened verges. 5. Review of Hurst Green pedestrian crossing, adjustment of sensors in response to complaints. 6. New signal heads at Hurst Green School – replacement of failed existing signs. 7. Comprehensive assessment for the installation of average speed cameras – unfortunately the scheme did not meet DfT and police enforcement criteria.
