Access Design and Safety Considerations
A properly located and well-designed access is essential for road user safety and convenience. The Council assesses proximity to junctions, existing accesses, and total number of accesses as relevant to traffic hazard assessment, and encourages amalgamation of access points to improve road safety.
A properly located and well-designed access[6] is essential for the safety and convenience of all road users. The proximity of the proposed access to junctions, other existing accesses and the total number of accesses onto a given stretch of road are relevant matters in the assessment of traffic hazards. The Council would encourage the amalgamation of individual access points along a road as this can help to improve road safety.
