ASSESSMENT SYSTEM FOR ‘REDUCING THE IMPACT OF TRAFFIC’ (RIOT) SCHEMES
Purpose
1. To provide members with an overview of the assessment system for the prioritisation of schemes under the Local Transport Plan (LTP) objective of ‘Reducing the Impact of Traffic (RIOT) on communities’; and to advise on the outcomes of assessments undertaken to date.
The Assessment System
2. The primary objective of the assessment system is to identify schemes which are likely to be effective in meeting the 12% speed reduction target of the LTP. The system uses set criteria by which schemes can be assessed and prioritised. These relate to: -
initial assessment
• the existing speed of traffic – average 85%ile speed from surveys (see paragraph 3 below)
further assessment
• traffic volume • the intensity of frontage development along the route • the number and type of community facilities
1 • the number of personal injury accidents
3. Requests for RIOT schemes are only further assessed when the average 85%ile speed of traffic is at or above the recommended enforcement limit set by the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO); 10% + 2mph above the prevailing speed limit. e.g. a road subject to a 30mph speed limit would only be considered for a RIOT scheme if the average 85%ile speeds where at or above 35mph . The 85%ile indicates the speed at which 85% of the traffic using the road is either travelling at or below. This ensures requests are considered objectively based on the degree of the ‘speeding problem’. Consideration is also given to the appropriateness of the existing speed limit based on Department for Transport guidance. Where it is felt that a speed limit change is warranted the RIOT assessment will use the more suitable limit.
4. Requests satisfying the initial assessment are then assessed against the remaining criteria to establish an overall score. A budgetary estimate based on the anticipated cost of developing and building a scheme that would achieve the 12% target is then used with the score to give a cost benefit ratio. This establishes the scheme’s relative priority for potential inclusion as part of a future Capital Programme.
5. As of 30 April 2004 there were 242 requests for RIOT schemes in the County; the attached lists, in alphabetical order, group requests into their current status. Amongst others, requests are received from members, parish councils and the public. As new requests are received the lists are updated and are therefore subject to change.
