  • Cedars Roundabout, Barnstaple PDF 6 MB
    PTE/17/33 North Devon Highways and Traffic Orders Committee 29 June 2017 Cedars Roundabout, Barnstaple Report of the Head of Planning, Transportation and Environment Please note that the following recommendation is subject to consideration and determination by the Committee before taking effect. Recommendation: It is recommended that the contents of the report are noted and that feasibility scheme Option 8 shown on Plan DCCP15701-008 in Appendix I, be progressed subject to funding and final scheme approval. 1. Introduction The report seeks to summarise the traffic situation at Cedars roundabout and the options that have been investigated to improve traffic priority from Bickington and Fremington. 2. Background Journey time delays at Cedars Roundabout are experienced predominantly during the morning commuter period. This is typically 7:30am to 9:00am Mon-Fri during school terms. At these times there is strong travel demand inbound to Barnstaple from both Bickington and Roundswell directions. Right turning traffic from Roundswell has priority through the roundabout, which can lead to delays for traffic entering the junction from Bickington. The capacity of the current roundabout junction is not the primary cause of journey time delays in the morning. The delays do not correlate with the highest morning traffic flows through the junction. These occur later in the morning, when demands on each main arm of the roundabout are more evenly distributed which in turn creates more gaps for traffic to enter the junction. The delays to Bickington traffic in the morning reflect the tidal pattern of commuting through this junction. The afternoon delays at Cedars are less severe as the commuting pattern out of town means that traffic volumes are concentrated on a single arm approach into the junction.
