This guide shares good practice, to help achieve the targets set out in DETR’s road safety strategy Tomorrow’s roads – safer for everyone (DETR, 2000b). 1.2 This guide has been developed primarily as a reference for local authority staff with an interest in road safety engineering and associated issues. However, we also hope that it will interest a wider audience, including the police, the Highways Agency, local health authorities, local communities, businesses, and transport interest groups. 1.3 It is hoped that the guide will particularly benefit those new to road safety engineering, whether they are just starting their careers or are transferring from a related discipline. 1.4 This guide is intended to be a living document, which will be updated over time as knowledge and experience develop. Consequently other existing and new examples of good practice will be sought and we particularly welcome feedback from practitioners (see chapter 8). Scope 1.5 A number of documents that advise on various aspects of road safety1 management, including the design of engineering measures and schemes, are already in the public domain. This document aims to draw together existing advice as far as possible into one document, and to update it, based on the most recent experience of local authorities and agencies (see examples, Appendix A), and on research results. 1.6 Consequently, the level of detail varies, and it follows that this guide is not intended to be a fully comprehensive document to be used in 1This guide is concerned with road safety only. It does not deal directly with the security of persons or property. 1.1 Contents • A Road Safety Good Practice Guide for Highway Authorities isolation. Where a subject is covered in depth in up-to-date publications elsewhere, the subject may be dealt with more briefly and reference will be made to the other sources of information in the text. Additional references that may be of use are given only in the bibliography. Where there is little current published information available, we deal with the topic more fully in this guide. 1.7 The good practice in this guide is not only based on the full Local Transport Plans (LTPs) submitted by local authorities, but also on other aspects that DETR considers good practice. Also included are innovative examples provided by local authorities, thought to be successful, but which are too recent to be proven so. 1.8 Strenuous efforts have been made to provide accurate, up-to-date and full coverage of the issues relating to road safety engineering and good practice, with the focus on engineering. However, it should be noted that much of the contents is taken on good faith and some subjective judgements have been relied upon in the choice of approach. Readers should also be aware that what constitutes good practice in one authority, or on a particular road, or under one set of specific conditions, may not be good practice if simply replicated elsewhere. This is due to the complexity of the many interacting factors affecting safety. Similarly, it should also be noted that there is not one definition of good practice, as no single definition could cover everything. Structure 1.9 This guide has eight chapters: • Chapter 1 comprises the above purpose and scope of this guide and a background introduction to road accidents in Great Britain.

  • Joint Note: Development That Should Have Been Assessed As Part of the Cumulative Assessment
    th Joint Statement 26 November 2016 Joint Note: Development that should have been assessed as part of the cumulative assessment Statement on behalf of: LB Hillingdon, Slough BC, South Bucks DC and Bucks CC. 1. Project 1: Western Rail Link to Heathrow th Joint Statement 26 November 2016 Highways England Comment 1.1 The Western Rail Link to Heathrow proposal it not yet either a committed project nor is it the subject of a live application. Its details and effects are not yet known. 1.2 The proposal was announced on 5 February 2014 following consideration of four options by Network Rail. At the time the assessment for the M4 Junctions 3 to 12 Smart Motorway scheme (the "Scheme") was undertaken, the proposal was at “early stages of development” following its inclusion in the Route Utilisation Strategies published in March 2010. As such, it was not at a sufficiently developed stage to be included in the cumulative assessment for the Scheme and did not come within the guidelines set out in Design Manual for Roads and Bridges (“DMRB”) for those committed, reasonably foreseeable developments that should be included in an assessment. It is understood that an application may be brought forward in due course. Any application for the construction of the Western Rail Link will be required to take the M4 Scheme into account when assessing the effect of its proposals, rather than the reverse. 1.3 Network Rail submitted a Scoping Report (Environmental Impact Assessment – Scoping Report, Western Rail Link to Heathrow, Jacobs, April 2015) to the Planning Inspectorate in April 2015 that set the principles of the proposed approach to the construction of the relocated depot.
