9.3.32 Strategy Element
A12 and A120 Route Management Strategy
| 9.3.32 | Strategy Element | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Action: | Name Junctions | ||
| Priority: | Low | Ref: | 12E |
| Initiation: | Due to the large number of junctions on the A12and their frequency, in places it can be difficult for a new or infrequent roaduser to identify their required junction. Locations of incidents for emergencyservices can also be difficult to pinpoint. | ||
| Action description: | Following a previous study of the feasibility ofjunction naming or numbering, junctions will be named on the A12 and A120. Thiswill be carried out as signs are replaced as part of major or routine maintenance,others will have name plates added. Numbering is not recommended due to the high number and variety of junctions andthe number of accesses. Naming can be undertaken as the opportunity arises such as when a junction isimproved or when signs are replaced. This does not rule out junction numbering at a later date if junction configurationallows. | ||
| Objective(s) met: | Environment OE6 and safety OS3 objectives will be metby the proposals. | ||
| Benefits: | Dangerous last minute manoeuvres at junctions andlonger trips on side roads, once a wrong turn has made, will be reduced. Public will be able to better locate incidents when informing emergency services. | ||
| Timescale: | Signs will be replaced or amended as part of routineand major maintenance works. | ||
