Mott MacDonald | Post Transport & Works Act Order (TWAO) Anglia Route 1 Cambridgeshire Road Safety Audit Stage 1


1 Introduction

Network Rail is carrying out feasibility studies to explore options for the closure of level

crossings throughout Cambridgeshire as part of their on-going commitment to deliver a safer,

more efficient and reliable railway. Mott MacDonald is considering Network Rail’s GRIP 0

Solution to enable the closure of level crossings.

This report describes a series of Stage 1 Road Safety Audits carried out on highway works

associated with proposed level crossing closures throughout Cambridgeshire. The scheme

proposals currently consist of indicative (high level) diversion routes as the result of closures

and no formal highway works have been designed at this stage. Therefore, this report

considers potential road safety problems as a result of the proposed routes and their interaction

with the highway. A detailed description of the proposed diversion routes at each location can

be read in the respective individual level crossing review reports.

The audits took place at the Bristol office of Mott MacDonald and consisted of a detailed

examination of the submitted documentation and drawings listed in Appendix A.

It is confirmed that this is a Stage 1 Road Safety Audit and that the audit was undertaken upon

completion of the feasibility design. It is also confirmed that the audit was carried out in

accordance with the Highways England Departmental Standard HD19/15.

The Road Safety Audit Team consisted of:

Tim Blaney BSc (Hons), CMILT, MCIHT, MSoRSA

(Certificate of Competency in Road Safety Audit, July 2012)

Audit Team Leader, Mott MacDonald

Barry Pledge MCIHT, MSoRSA

(Certificate of Competency in Road Safety Audit, July 2012)

Audit Team Member, Mott MacDonald

Each site was visited on Wednesday 20th September 2017 during which time the weather was

sunny and the road surface was dry.

This Road Safety Audit was carried out in accordance with Audit Brief and adheres to HD19/15.

The Road Safety Audit Team has examined and reported only on the road safety implications of

the scheme as presented and has not examined or verified the compliance of the designs to any

other criteria.

The comments and suggestions for road safety improvements made in this report seek to

address matters that might have an adverse effect on road safety in the context of the chosen

design. No attempt has been made to comment on the justification of the scheme.

Consequently the auditors accept no responsibility for the design or construction of the scheme.

All of the issues raised in this report are considered to be required for action. The comments

contained in the report are based on safety related concerns and as such the design engineer

will need to consider carefully how to respond to each of the issues. The Audit Response

Report to the audit should be completed by the Design Team and kept on file for future

reference.

A Key Plan indicating the location of any identified safety related issues is provided in Appendix

B.

Scheme Description

The purpose of this Stage 1 Road Safety Audit is to review the proposals at two level crossings

which divert users along the public highway including any associated highway works within the

County of Cambridgeshire.

The level crossing closure proposals are summarised below:

• C04 – users would be diverted to the north along Station on footway on the east side

footway before crossing to the west side footway opposite Bourlton PLC.

• C29 – users would be diverted to Brinkley Road where they would use the verge and

footway and the existing road level crossing.
