Highway Network Transport Assessment changes Sept 2013 to Jan 2014 No changes have been made to this chapter. A.1 Introduction This chapter provides details and descriptions of the existing highway network, the proposed highway network as a result of NGT, and proposed and committed transport schemes identified by Leeds City Council. Photos included in this chapter do not represent peak traffic conditions (unless noted) and serve to represent the proposed route only. A.2 Existing Highway Network A.2.1 North Line A.2.1.1 Holt Park to Bodington Park and Ride Holt Crescent and Holt Park Road circle the edge of Holt Park car park, and provide access for buses to the terminus in front of the Holt Park District Centre. The bus terminus is restricted to buses only. The district centre includes an Asda Supermarket, post office and other community facilities and shops. Holtdale Approach is a single 7.3m carriageway road with parking bays adjacent to Ralph Thoresby High School. There are associated school entrance markings and no waiting restrictions together with traffic calming in the form of road humps and raised crossings. A zebra crossing located south of the junction with Holtdale Gardens links the access to Ralph Thoresby High School. Holtdale Approach joins Otley Old Road at a priority T-junction, and provides access to the residential area of Holt Park and the district retail centre. Cookridge Fire Station is located between the Tinshill Lane and Holtdale Approach junctions, with direct access onto Otley Old Road. The exit from the fire station is protected by signals for southbound traffic to give priority to emergency service vehicles. Otley Old Road is typically a 7.3 metre wide single carriageway, with short sections widening up to approximately 8 metres. It is subject to a 40mph speed restriction from the Otley Road junction to the Spen Lane junction, north of which a 30mph speed limit is in place. 312694/BNI/EST/73/F Jan 2014 RPT073_-_Leeds_NGT_Transport_Assessment_Rev_F_Annexes.docx 10 Leeds NGT Transport Assessment - Annexes RPT073 Transport Assessment - Annexes There are no parking or loading restrictions on the main carriageway of Otley Old Road. Residential properties either take access via driveways across grass verges or via streets running parallel to Otley Old Road behind the grass verge. This is illustrated in Photo A.1. There are few commercial properties fronting onto the road, and properties are generally set back from the main road and take access from adjacent side streets or driveways extending across highway verges. Photo A.1: Otley Old Road looking south close to Hospital Lane Source: Mott MacDonald Otley Old Road joins the A660 Otley Road north of the Lawnswood Roundabout at a priority junction. All movements are permitted, except right-turns from Otley Road to Otley Old Road. A right-turn pocket is provided within the central reserve to assist right-turns from Otley Old Road to Otley Road. 312694/BNI/EST/73/F Jan 2014 RPT073_-_Leeds_NGT_Transport_Assessment_Rev_F_Annexes.docx
