9.3.20 Strategy Element
A12 and A120 Route Management Strategy
| 9.3.20 | Strategy Element | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Action: | Provide Slip Roads at Hare Green | ||
| Priority: | Medium | Ref: | 6 |
| Initiation: | Turning movements between the A120 and A133at Hare Green are limited as slip roads are only provided to and from thewest side of the A120. With the A133 providing access to Clacton-on Sea,Brightlingsea and Frinton-on-Sea there is a demand for better access toand from Harwich, rather than the existing cross-country route, throughnarrow country lanes and villages. | ||
| Action description: | A scheme will be developed to provide sliproads connecting Harwich Road with the A133 route to Clacton. This, inconjunction with the A120 roundabout (see Action Ref 6A) will enable allmovements between the A120 and the A133 to take place at Hare Green. | ||
| Objective(s) met: | Direct benefits for the A120 are limited,however, safety and economy gains can be made if traffic moves from unsuitablejunctions with the A120 to the improved interchange at Hare Green. | ||
| Benefits: | The existing minor roads used for access between thenorth and south of the peninsula will benefit through a reduction in traffic flowsand the associated problems. | ||
| Timescale: | As the proposal relies on the roundabout at HarwichRoad being in place the study is not planned until year 3 with the slip roads beingbuilt in year 7. | ||
