63/20 - ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION REGULATIONS REQUEST

Dear Sir/Madam

Your request for information has now been considered and the information requested is provided below.

Request:

Please could you provide all documentation relating to the installation of the two traffic calming measures on Tolethorpe, either side of the village of . One is located next to the junction with Little Casterton Road and the other near the junction of Salters Lane. In particular, I would like to see any risk assessments or safety assessments made prior to their installation, documentation outlining the justification for installation and the process that was undertaken in order to make the decision to install them.

Response:

Both of these chicanes were installed following requests by the Parish Council after they raised concerns relating to speeding traffic.

Toll Bar end of Little Casterton – The scheme proposal was sent to the police on the 22nd January 2016, who responded with no objections to the scheme. The scheme was then installed in July 2016. The chicane at this end of the village has been successful in reducing vehicle speeds. Previously the average speed was 34mph and the 85th percentile was 39mph. Following the installation of the chicane the average speed reduced to 21mph and the 85th percentile to 24mph.

Ryhall end of Little Casterton – This scheme was sent to the police, who responded with no objections to the scheme. The scheme was full installed at the end of 2019. The chicane has yet been assessed in terms of effects on vehicle speeds, however a road safety audit has been carried out at this location. The safety audit recommended some alterations which have all been explored. Due to various highway constraints some of the recommendations could not be carried out – eg turning the SID around.

There have been no recorded accidents at either of these locations

1. Introduction

1.1 This Stage 3 Road Safety Audit (RSA) has been undertaken on the proposed traffic calming measures in Little Casterton, Rutland. The Audit was carried out at the request of Robyn Green (Design Team) at Rutland County Council, for the submission to Chris Capps of Rutland County Council.

1.2 The Audit was carried out by experienced, Road Safety Engineers who have not been involved with the design process. Members of the Local police were invited, but were unavailable to attend. The members of the Audit Team were:

Tom Langridge – MSc Eng. BEng Hons GMICE – Audit Team Leader Associate Director, AECOM Leeds

Rob Norfolk – BSc (Hons) Civil Engineering MICHT – Audit Team Member Principal Consultant, AECOM Leeds

1.3 The RSA was undertaken in accordance with the RSA Brief received via email from Robyn Green, on Thursday 15th August 2019. The Audit comprised of an examination of the documents provided by the Design Team, which are listed in Appendix A. 1.4 The RSA took place in the AECOM Leeds office during August 2019 and the site was examined by the members of the RSA Team together between the hours of 16:00hrs and 18:00hrs, on Thursday 5th September 2019 and a night time visit was undertaken between the hours of 20:00hrs and 20:30hrs. The weather condition during the visit was sunny, with a dry road surface. Photographs were taken and notes were written in order to document impressions of the scheme prior to the writing of the report. 1.5 The terms of reference of the Audit are as described in the Design Manual for Roads and Bridges (DMRB) document GG119 (formally HD 19/15) ‘Road Safety Audit’. The advice issued in the DMRB applies to trunk road and motorway highway improvement schemes; however, it has been used in this report to define the scope of this Audit. 1.6 The content of this Audit should not be regarded as a direct instruction to include or remove a measure from within the scheme. Responsibility for designing the scheme lies with the Designer and as such the Audit Team accepts no design responsibility for any changes made to the scheme as a result of this Audit. 1.7 The scheme has been examined, and this report compiled, only with regard to the safety implications to road users of the scheme as presented. It has not been examined or verified for compliance with any other standards or criteria. However, to clearly explain a safety problem or the recommendation to resolve a problem, the Audit Team may, on occasion, have referred to a design standard without touching on technical audit. 1.8 No departures and relaxations from standards have been notified to the Audit Team on the proposals. 1.9 Collision data and traffic flow information has been provided and reviewed. 1.10 All traffic sign and road marking diagram number references are made to The Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions 2016, (TSRGD). 1.11 Unless general to the scheme, each problem has been identified with reference to key features and highlighted on the problem location plans in Appendix B.

2. Scheme Overview

2.1 Little Casterton is a small village situated between , and Stamford. The approach to Little Casterton from the west is national speed limit and the approach from the east is 40mph. The 40mph limit starts at the junction with the A6121 and finishes at the far eastern end of Little Casterton. The village is 30mph for its entire length. 2.2 The introduction of a calming measure in this location is in response to Rutland County Council’s concern that motorists travelling from the east enter Little Casterton in excess of the posted speed limit. As such, a chicane traffic calming measure has been proposed and temporarily implemented on Tolehorpe. 2.3 A chicane traffic calming measure has previously been implemented on the western entry into Little Casterton which has been recorded as successfully reducing traffic speeds into the village. 2.4 An aerial image showing the extents of Little Casterton village is shown below in Figure 1.

2.5 Collision data was provided by Rutland County Council to the Audit Team. A total of two collisions were recorded within the scheme extents, between 2008 and 2018, of which one was a serious collision and one was slight. The Audit Team has not been able to identify possible trends. 2.6 The slight collision occurred when a vehicle was travelling north east towards Little Casterton at high speed when it collided with another vehicle turning right from Little Casterton Road. Both drivers were slightly injured. 2.7 The serious collision occurred when a car was reversing south east from the Chantry and entered the main road. A motorcyclist travelling south west through Little Casterton, swerved to avoid the reversing vehicle and collided with a parked vehicle. The motorcyclist was seriously injured.

TRAFFIC SIGNS, CARRIAGEWAY MARKINGS AND LIGHTING

Problem: 4.1 Location: Tolethorpe Drawing: ITCP-2017-08-01 REV B

Summary: Risk of head on and shunt type collisions as a result of potential high traffic speeds travelling through the chicane due to the orientation of the existing speed warning variable message sign. Description: During the site visit the Audit Team noted a large proportion of traffic exiting Little Casterton (with priority at the chicane) travelling at speeds perceived to be higher than the posted speed limit. On a number of occasions eastbound motorists were observed braking suddenly to avoid westbound vehicles travelling through the chicane. Based upon on site observations, the Audit Team determined that the main reason for this behaviour was due to the higher speeds at which the eastbound motorists travelled as they prepare to exit the 30mph zone and proceed into the 40mph zone. The chicane is located in close proximity to the eastbound change in speed limit. As such the Audit Team has concerns that there may be an increased risk of head on and shunt type collisions should eastbound motorists continue to exit Little Casterton at higher speeds than the posted speed limits and interact with westbound vehicles travelling through the chicane.

Recommendation: Rotate the existing speed warning variable message sign to face eastbound traffic, so that motorists are encouraged to travel at lower speeds through the chicane.

Problem: 4.2 Location: Tolethorpe Drawing: ITCP-2017-08-01 REV B

Summary: Risk of head on type collisions as a result of lack of road marking provision.

Description: Drawing ITCP-2017-08-01 REV B shows the location the implemented traffic island which forms the chicane. Along the westbound approach to the chicane, give way road markings are provided with the associated give way triangle. Road markings have not been proposed or implemented on the eastbound approach. On site observations made by the Audit Team indicated that westbound motorists travelling through the chicane would maintain a route along the opposing side of the carriageway for a significant period after the traffic island. The Audit Team has concerns that the driver behaviour observed is as a result of the lack of road markings in the western side of the chicane and may result in an increased risk of head on type collisions should a westbound vehicle interact with an eastbound vehicle whilst travelling on the opposing side of the carriageway. Should head on collisions occur, there is a risk of injury to occupants of all vehicles involved.

IMAGE 3: Tolethorpe, looking east towards the temporary chicane IMAGE 4: Tolethorpe, looking west towards Little Casterton – minimal road marking provision. Village – minimal road marking provision. Recommendation: Provide centreline road markings and a ghost island west of the traffic island to guide westbound traffic away from the opposing traffic lane.

Problem: 4.3 Location: Tolethorpe Drawing: ITCP-2017-08-01 REV B

Summary: Risk of head on type collisions as a result of lack of traffic warning sign provision.

Description: Drawing ITCP-2017-08-01 REV B shows the location the implemented traffic island which forms the chicane. The standard warning sign provision has been implemented on the eastbound and westbound approaches. On site observations made by the Audit Team indicated that there were occasions of non-compliance with the chicane system with some westbound motorists failing to give way to eastbound traffic. Should non-compliance continue to occur, the Audit Team has concerns that there may be an increased risk of head on type collisions between east and westbound vehicles. Should head on collisions occur, there is a risk of injury to occupants of all vehicles involved.

(Date) Introduction This feasibility study is to assess whether there is a speeding issue when vehicles enter Little Casterton travelling east to west, following concerns raised by the Parish Meeting regarding the speed vehicles and to determine if traffic calming measures are required.

1 Site Description

Little Casterton is a small village situated between Great Casterton, Ryhall and Stamford. The approaches to Little Casterton from the west is national speed limit and the approach from the east is 40mph. The 40mph limit starts at the junction with the A6121 and finishes at the far eastern end of Little Casterton. The village is 30mph for its entire length.

The road through Little Casterton can be used by vehicles to link the A6121 with the B1081. Vehicles travelling from Ryhall may use this road to access the B1081 to link onto the A1.

4 | P a g e Vehicles entering Little Casterton from the west are travelling from either Stamford along Little Casterton Road, or Great Casterton along Tolethorpe. Both of these roads are classified as C class roads. Both are rural lanes without any footpaths.

The western approach has recently been upgraded to include new road markings, a chicane, and signs and buff coloured High friction surfacing, as illustrated below. The average speed at the western end of the village before the chicane was installed was 35mph (2015); following the installation of the chicane the average speed has reduced to 21mph (2017). (See Section 3 Speed Survey for further information).

5 | P a g e Vehicles entering Little Casterton from the east are travelling from the A6121, Ryhall, along Tolethorpe. There is only one road access with Tolethorpe between the A6121 and Little Casterton, Salters Lane. This road is used to access and links to Ryhall Road.

The eastern approach to Little Casterton was upgraded at the same time as the western approach, to include a new village name plate, white lining and high friction surfacing.

The signs have been placed approximately 100m east of the first house when entering Little Casterton from Ryhall. The village name plate includes the 30mph roundel and is on yellow backing. The 30mph roundel on the opposite side of the road does not have any backing.

6 | P a g e As shown in the image above, the Little Casterton sign is obstructed by vegetation. The Traffic Signs Manual Chapter 4 1states it is essential that drivers have an unobstructed view of traffic signs. The required visibility of a traffic sign will be depended upon the approaching speed.

This traffic sign is for vehicles entering the 30mph limit from a 40mph limit, therefore drivers should have a clear visibility of the sign for 75m. It is important that sight lines are properly maintained so that the intended warning is not compromised. At this location the village name plate is not having the desired effect as it is obstructed by foliage.

The Traffic Signs Manual Chapter 3 states “where a speed limit other than the national limit is in force, direction 11 (2) requires that repeater signs are provided at regular intervals along the road. However, this does not apply to a 30mph speed limit on a road with a system of carriageway lighting; in built-up areas it would be impracticable to place 30mph repeater signs on every road. To do so in some cases by not others would result in inconsistency and driver uncertainty. This is therefore prohibited by direction 11(4). Section 82 of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 defines a road that has a system of street lighting (carriageway lighting in Scotland) as being a “restricted road” (see para 14.2). Section 81 specifies that the speed limit along such a road shall always be 30 mph unless an order has been made to impose another limit and remove the restricted road status. The presence of carriageway lighting therefore means that a road automatically has a speed limit of 30 mph with the lamps taking the place of repeater signs.”2

The speed limit through Little Casterton is 30mph. There is a series of street lights along Main Street, and therefore to comply with the Traffic Signs Manual Chapter 3, no repeater roundels have been installed through the village.

7 | P a g e 2 Accident Data There have been 2 recorded accidents through Little Casterton between 1/1/2008 and 30/9/2018.

Accident 200802291 – V1 travelling north east towards Little Casterton at high speed collides with V2 turning right from Little Casterton Road. Both drivers were slightly injured

Accident 201401043 – V1 reversing travelling south east from the Chantry Enters Main Road in front of V2 (motorcycle) travelling south west through Little Casterton. V2 swerves to avoid V1 and collides rear V2 parked ahead in carriageway. The motorcyclist was seriously injured.

Neither of these accidents were in relation to the speed of vehicles through the village.

8 | P a g e 3 Speed Survey Speed survey western end of village prior to chicane being installed. The survey was carried out between 27/10/2015 and 4/11/2015.

This survey has demonstrated that the chicane has been effective at this location, by lowering the average speed and the 85th percentile by 40%.

A speed survey was carried out at the far east of the village just inside the 30mph speed limit. This survey was carried out between 19/4/2017 and 26/4/2017. The approaching data is traffic entering the village and the receding data is traffic leaving the village towards Ryhall.

11 | P a g e 4 Options See Appendix C for scaled drawings

1. Cut back foliage around Village name plate Cost Approximately £100

2. Install a chicane just inside 30mph limit with appropriate signage and road markings A chicane has worked effectively at the western end of the village so it is proposed to install one at this location. The vegetation will need to be cut back for the priority signage and kept clear. The chicane will need to be placed at an appropriate location to ensure that it is visible for traffic in both direction. Cost Approximately £6k

12 | P a g e 5 Recommendations

The following improvements are recommended in Little Casterton - Option 1 – cut back foliage around sign - Option 2 – Install chicane Cost approximately £6k
