1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 This report details the results of a Stage 1 / 2 Road Safety Audit undertaken in

January 2018 on proposed cycling improvements (forming part of the Central

London Cycle Grid) to Baylis Road and Waterloo Road, in the London Borough

of Lambeth.

1.2 The Road Safety Audit Team consists of:

Darren Gotch (PC) Team Leader

Jatindra Chana BSc(Hons) MIHE (PC) Team Member

1.3 The Client Organisation details are:

Jamila Barrett

London Borough of Lambeth

1.4 The Design Team details are:

Unit 2 Holford Yard

1.5 The report has been prepared in response to a brief provided by the Client

organisation in November 2017.

1.6 The Audit took place at the Slough office of Project Centre in January 2018

and comprised of an examination of the drawings and documents as listed in

Appendix A of this report. The Audit Team visited the site on Thursday 5th

January between 11:30am – 12:30pm. The weather was cold and clear.

1.7 The terms of reference of the Road Safety Audit are generally as described in

HD 19/15. 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.

1.8 Personal Injury Collision Data was obtained from Transport for London. A

review of the data indicated that there has been 21 personal injury collisions

recorded at this location in the last 5 years which resulted in one fatal, four

serious and 16 slight injuries.

1.9 No details of any departures from standards have been provided.

1.10 All comments and recommendations are referenced to the design drawings

and A3 location plans in Appendix B of this report.


2. ITEMS RAISED AT PREVIOUS ROAD SAFETY AUDIT(S)

2.1 No previous Road Safety Audits were provided to the Audit Team


3. STAGE 1/2 ROAD SAFETY AUDIT

3.1 GENERAL

3.1.1 No issues identified at this stage.

3.2 LOCAL ALIGNMENT

3.2.1 PROBLEM:

Location: Various approaches into the junction of Baylis Road and Waterloo

Road

Summary: Risk of side-swipe or shunt type collisions due to inadequate lane

widths on approach to the junction.

Detail: Lane widths of between 3.0m and 3.18m have been proposed on some

of the approaches to the junction. The Audit Team is concerned that this is

below the minimum 3.25m recommended by Transport for London for a bus

route. The high frequency bus movements through the junction increases the

likelihood of side-swipe or shunt type collisions.

Recommendation: Revisit the design to ensure lane widths are adequate on all

approaches to the junction.

3.3 JUNCTIONS


3.4 NON MOTORISED USERS

3.4.1 PROBLEM:

Location: Baylis Road

Summary: Risk of collisions due to road users ‘seeing through’ a red signal at the

vehicle stopline and only noticing a green signal at the reservoir stopline.

Detail: The Audit Team is concerned the distance between the vehicle stopline

and the reservoir stopline is not sufficient enough, which could result in road

users ‘seeing through’ a red signal at the vehicle stopline , and only noticing a

green signal at the reservoir stopline.

Recommendation: Ensure the two stoplines are separated to the recommended

minimum distance and signals are clearly associated with each stopline.

3.5 ROAD SIGNS, CARRIAGEWAY MARKING AND LIGHTING



4. ISSUES OUTSIDE THE TERMS OF REFERENCE

4.1 Any issues that the Audit Team wish to bring to the attention of the Client

Officer which are not covered by the road safety implications of this audit

have been included in the following section. These issues could include

maintenance items, operational issues or poor existing provision. It should be

understood however, that in raising these issues, the Audit Team do not

warrant that a full review of the existing highway environment has been

undertaken beyond the scope of the Audit.

4.2 No issues were noted.


5. AUDIT TEAM STATEMENT

The Audit has been carried out with the sole purpose of identifying any features

of the design that could be removed or modified in order to improve the safety

of the scheme. The problems identified have been noted in this report together

with suggestions for safety improvements, which we recommend should be

studied for implementation.

No member of the Road Safety Audit Team has been involved with the design of

the measures
