Britains Crap Roads, Answers wanted
"iantheengineer" wrote in message ... "Chris Jones" wrote in message ... Just look at the roads around any Ikea store, for instance. Absolute rubbish. all large developments require transport impact assessments. The DEVELOPER pays for these to be carrioed out and the are examined by the councils or the prevailinbg highway authority. all junctioons and link roads are examined for capacity and the impact that traffic will have. The examinations are robust with factors of safety built into them. If the junctions start to cause a proble or reach 85% of the capacity within the (normally) 10 years following development. the DEVELOPER pays for the improvement works. I should know I write TIAs on regular basis Does this apply where the development and the access road lie within two different authorities? I quote the case of IKEA Leeds, which is actually in Kirklees (Huddersfield), and the main access point of the M62/M621 comes under Leeds City Council. |

Yes it always applies the study should undertake a materiality test which states that any junction / link road affected by more than 5% or other LPA recommendation then the junction must be examined and analysed in detail. Large developments like IKEAs ( incidentally the worst traffic generator by far) should be examined very closely. TThey are cross boundary and will be examined by both councils hth |
