Recommend objection. The revised vehicle access will reduce visibility available to the north of the site from a previous assessment of 2.4m x 101 to 2.4 x 2.4 x 90m. The recent road traffic audit indicates a visibility splay of 2.4m x 95.3m. The achievable visibility splay is to quote from documentation provided is only 2m short of the desired level. The closure of the straight ahead route means that all vehicles from the A1 and the locale will be using a junction which has limited visibility because of the A1 cross bridge. Red surfacing and a 40mph roundel are insufficient to warn traffic exiting the A1 of slow moving traffic turning left or crossing the carriageway to go north. Highly visible road and post signage, warning drivers of the junction and speed limit, is needed on the slip road before and after the crest of the A1 cross bridge. The road safety audit team visited the site between 11.30am and 12.30pm. At peak times, vehicles may be queuing to exit the slip road at the junction, with the potential of a tail back onto the A1.
