INTRODUCTION 1.1 Overview 1.1.1 Pell Frischmann has been commissioned by East Riding of Yorkshire Council (ERYC) to produce a Transport Study for North Cave, which is located to the north east of the M62 near Junction 38. 1.1.2 The aim of this study is to provide a review of the existing highway network, consider the feasibility of potential improvement options and to develop a package of measures that could be progressed towards implementation. 1.1.3 In order to identify any existing issues it has been necessary to undertake a series of site visits during both the network peak hours and inter-peak period. This Study has also been informed by a document entitled ‘North Cave Traffic Workshop Notes’, which was prepared by North Cave Parish Council. The Parish Council document was produced following a workshop meeting between residents and therefore considers the issues that were raised as well as potential solutions. Pell Frischmann 4 NORTH CAVE TRANSPORT STUDY W50887 / T18 / R01 2. EXISTING CONDITIONS 2.1 Overview 2.1.1 North Cave is a village in the East Riding of Yorkshire and is located approximately 15km to the south west of Beverley. 2.1.2 The main route through the village is the B1230 (Newport Road/Westgate/Church Street/Wold Hill) which passes west to east and has a number of private accesses and priority junctions along its length. Unrestricted on street parking currently occurs throughout the village on this route and in some cases this causes restrictions to the free flow of traffic. 2.1.3 The village is traversed on the north side by a more lightly trafficked alternative east to west route via Nordham and Church Lane. 2.1.4 Station Road runs south from the village and provides connectivity between North Cave and South Cave and passes the prison complex HMP Humber. 2.1.5 A number of public transport bus services currently pass through the village. These bus services use Westgate and Station Road with routes 155, X56 and X57 continuing along Newport Road to the west of the village, and the 143 travelling on Townend Lane to the north via Hotham. 2.2 Newport Road 2.2.1 Newport Road is a single carriageway with verges and footpaths on either side of the road and street lighting on the northern side. The road has a mixture of speed limits with the far western end being national speed limit, reducing to 40mph at the village gateway feature. The speed limit further reduces down to 30mph at a point approximately 100m west of its junction with Townend Lane. 2.2.2 The transition point between the 30mph and 40mph changeover was moved approximately 60m west of its current location between March 2010 and May 2011. 2.2.3 The terminal speed limit signs are situated at the point where the speed limit changeover point occurs and are supplemented by a “SLOW” road marking and Pell Frischmann 5 NORTH CAVE TRANSPORT STUDY W50887 / T18 / R01 red high friction surfacing in order to further highlight and increase conspicuity of the changeover. 2.2.4 A vehicle activated sign is located approximately 40m west of the junction with Townend Lane (at the historical 30mph/40mph changeover point). The sign is located facing eastbound traffic on the approach to the village and displays the message “SLOW DOWN” together with flashing amber warning lights. The display is activated when vehicles exceeding the posted 30mph speed limit are detected. The 30mph road marking roundel preceded by red high friction surfacing and “shark teeth” associated with the historical 30mph/40mph changeover point have been maintained at this location. Figure 2.1 – View looking east along Newport Road towards the village with speed activated sign shown in the far distance 2.3 B1230 Westgate 2.3.1 The B1230 Westgate is a single carriageway road with footpaths and street lighting on either side and is subject to a 30mph speed limit. A 7.5 tonne weight limit covers the majority of its length, commencing to the east of its junction with Townend Lane. Pell Frischmann 6 NORTH CAVE TRANSPORT STUDY W50887 / T18 / R01 2.3.2 As can be seen in Figure 2.2 unrestricted on street parking currently occurs along the length of Westgate. Whilst on some sections there is sufficient width to maintain two way movement of vehicles, there are other areas where the road is narrower, especially towards the eastern end of Westgate and so this parking restricts
