Traffic Control: A traffic systems companion to the DfT Traffic Signs Manual - Chapter 6

benefit to Road Users, and Road Owners, driving down costs, increasing availability and utilisation, while ensuring accurate information can be delivered simply. The new guidance would incorporate guidance on accessible street design (informed by all the key principles recommended from this research report). This would need to be aligned with the emerging research on tactile paving guidance and inclusive mobility. This format proved to be unwieldy and was replaced with separate volumes starting in 1977, which also dealt with the issues presented by metricating all dimensions.

The Government’s ‘The Charter for Social Housing Residents: Social Housing White Paper’, sets out an expectation that the Regulator of Social Housing (the regulator) will bring in a set of tenant satisfaction measures. For 26 years the JCT Symposium and exhibition has been bringing traffic signal practitioners together with presentations, a specialist Exhibition, and plenty of opportunities to catch up with old friends and colleagues We think it is appropriate that the proposals include a mix of both tenant perception measures, which would allow the views of tenants to be heard, and measures which would be collected through registered providers’ management information.Recommendation: It is recommended that guidance outlines the importance of the physical street features in supporting the confidence of disabled street users in accessing an area. model which replaces traditional manual surveys with a more accurate and more affordable alternative to their current providers. Finally, the operation of our systems will need to evolve to cater more effectively with active transport modes whilst also considering the effect It is recommended that guidance should encourage the completion of EQIAs, setting out how undertaking EQIAs supports the Public Sector Equality Duty.

Modelling Guidelines and our presentation this year will focus on the scheme assessment section, specifically how model Since 2016 TfL and London boroughs have, collectively, added 250km of new cycle routes. As we know, designing additional Our approach is outcome-focussed, co-regulatory, proportionate, risk-based and assurance based. These principles will continue to be central to our regulatory approach following the implementation of our strengthened consumer regulatory role. Introduction and an outline of the historical, functional and design aspects of signs. The chapter includes sections dealing with the positioning and mounting of signs. Chapter 2 (in draft) informatory signsWe've at long last some advice on parallel crossings (where people walk and cycle across), although I disagree with the advice that the waiting area at a parallel crossing should be shared use (p130). While the constraint of having the pedestrian and cycle crossings fixed with a 400mm gap, it is possible to design them to be properly separated. The White Paper states that TSMs should include both objective quantitative measures and tenant perception measures and follow the themes set out in the Social Housing Green Paper, which are The principles, supporting sub-principles, and recommendations are set out in full in Appendix J with accompanying links to the evidence from this research study underpinning each principle and sub-principle.

The most important new volume is therefore Chapter 3, as so much hinges upon the correct use of regulatory signs both for civil enforcement and for the police to be able to prosecute for speeding and other offences through the criminal justice system. Staffordshire County Council (SCC) won funding to take part in the live labs project, funded by the DFT. They worked alongside Amey, Keele University and the On 17 November 2020 the Government published The Charter for Social Housing Residents: Social Housing White Paper (the White Paper). In the White Paper, the Government sets out a commitment to strengthen the regulator’s consumer regulation role to enable us to proactively monitor registered providers’ compliance with a set of revised consumer standards. Legislation to enable this to happen is expected to come forward in due course. Several major companies kindly sponsored events at the Symposium and Exhibition enhancing networking and subsidising key events. Some guidance does refer to the PSED under the Equality Act (for example the Traffic Signs Manual Chapter 6), but guidance could be enhanced to include the importance of EQIAs when considering the potential impact on the existing level of amenity for street users.determine the likely capacity implications of choosing one system over another dependent on junction type. It can form one We have carried out a Regulatory Impact Assessment and an Equality Impact Assessment in relation to our proposals. These assessments are reflected in the draft Regulatory Impact Assessment (Annex 6) and the draft Equality Impact Assessment (Annex 7) referred to above. cycling. A successful LCWIP can be the heart of allocating investment into these sustainable modes of transport in a defensible strategic way and allows for greater The proposed TSM Standard is at Annex 1. We think that this standard sets clear expectations which would support the regulator in helping to ensure that the TSMs meet their aims as set out in the White Paper. We have set out below the required outcome and specific expectations in the draft TSM Standard, and we have summarised our rationale. 1.
