Connued overleaf HIGHWAYS AND TRANSPORTATION PLANNING • Feasibility Appraisals to assess a site in the context of transportaon, the potenal restricons to development in terms of access or road capacity, and advice as to the development potenal of the site. • Transport Assessments to consider the impact of a development on the surrounding transportaon network. Although primarily related to road traffic, the accessibility of a potenal development by non-car modes such as public transport, walking/cycling is oﬅen a key factor in determining the suitability of a site. Our transportaon team is able to work alongside other technical disciplines to provide a complete service in the preparaon of planning applicaons and Environmental Impact Assessments. • Traffic Modelling to establish the capacity of the road network under exisng and ‘with development’ traffic condions using bespoke soﬅware such as PICADY, ARCADY & LINSIG. • Travel Plans are commonly required for new developments and can help minimise the negave impact of travel on the environment. Based on a wealth of experience, we can research, design and implement travel plans for a variety of sectors including residenal, businesses, hospitals and schools. • Highways Design with services ranging from swept path analysis through to outline and detailed design of highways schemes. This includes all elements of highway works, including horizontal and vercal layouts to appropriate design standards, road pavement design, signage and road marking design, drainage and detailing. • Implementaon of road schemes including the seng up of appropriate legal agreements (e.g. Secon 278 Agreements), preparaon of construcon specificaons and contracts, tendering and administraon of construcon projects. Any form of built development will require consideraon of its impact in transportaon terms, parcularly its accessibility, the likely traffic that it will generate, and the ability of the exisng or improved public transport network to service the development. From the earliest stages in the planning process, SLR works to quanfy the likely development impact and provide accurate and mely advice on the most appropriate and cost-effecve forms of migaon, where necessary. Our aim is to offer clients the opportunity to achieve the maximum potenal of development sites through the provision of tailored expert advice in the field of highways and transportaon planning. “considerable and wide ranging experience in the field of highways and transportaon planning” HOW CAN SLR HELP?
