Access Appraisal
Introduction
One of the key design issues of the A55 Knock Road widening scheme is to enhance the safety of access and exit from properties for residents living on the Knock Road between Shandon Park and Kensington Road. Currently, these residents have to exit directly onto the Knock Road via substandard accesses with poor visibility. road must be provided to mitigate this problem. The construction of the new road will affect these accesses further so an alternative access

Existing Access Points
2.1.2.
At present there are four accesses onto the A55 Outer Ring between Shandon Park and Kensington Road serving six properties: 1. Kinsgden Park to 1 and 1a 2. Laneway to 64, 66, and 68 Knock Road 3. Laneway to 60 Knock Road (Marie Curie Fundraising House) 4. A disused right of way

2.1.3.
As part of the design process, numerous options were considered, appraised and costed. Eight options were brought before the Client, and from those eight alternatives, two recommendations were made by Amey Consulting. This was subsequently revised to three options after meeting with the Deputy Divisional Roads Manager on 10 March 2008.
th
2.1.4.
The choice of access option depends on whether 64 Knock Road is retained or demolished as part of the main scheme: If the house is retained, upon completion of the main alignment, the new retaining wall will be 4.5m from the front of the property. There will be remedial work required to maintain the house, including the construction of a secant pile retaining wall. There may be a diminution in the value of the property due to its close proximity to the widened road. If the house is demolished, then there is the additional cost associated with vesting the property. This is dependent on the value of the property at the time of vesting. The 2005 estimate for the scheme valued 64 Knock Road at 450k.
2.1.5.
All proposed options, which will be providing residential access off the A55 Knock Road, were designed in accordance with advice set out in the Design Manual for Roads and Bridges (DMRB). This was supplemented with guidance as set out in Creating Places , which recommends the cross sectional dimensions of residential development roads: 5.5m wide carriageway for 0-200 dwellings; 2m wide footway; Radii of internal corners are minimum of 25m where no more than 50 dwellings are served; Junction radius with the Knock Road is a minimum of 6m; Access Roads to be adopted by Roads Service (RS) according to their policy
1
Creating Places is a guidance document issued by the Planning Service and Department for Regional Development and is
intended for use in the design of all proposals for residential developments throughout Northern Ireland. The guidelines in this document form the basis for assessing any proposal.

2.2.1. 2.2.2.
Option 1
Drg No. 400445-SK-049-01 (Appendix A) This option is recommended if 64 Knock Road is retained. A new road provides access to Kingsden Park and to Nos. 64, 66 and 68 Knock Road and any future development on remaining Roads Service land. Right turn out is prevented by the central islands and therefore banned to improve safety at the adjacent Shandon Park/Sandown Road/Knock Road junction. Meanwhile a new road is constructed to allow Marie Curie to access their fundraising house (No. 60). This road will also facilitate the 3 access onto the main road.

2.2.3.
The banned right turn would result in residents having to turn left out of the road and seek an alternate route for travelling northbound. Similarly for those residents wishing to turn into the access travelling on the northbound A55, alternate routes will have to be used. A few possible solutions for both entry and exit have been proposed in Drg No. 400445-SK-049-04 and can be found in Appendix A.
2.2.4.
A Traffic Calming scheme has been proposed for the Shandon Park area by Network Development. Whilst this scheme will be designed to discourage the rat-run of through traffic, any traffic calming scheme that is installed will increase the journey times for the suggested alternate routes.
2.2.5.
Despite retaining 64 Knock Road, there may be an associated decrease in its value due to its proximity to the new road. There is also an additional cost for the construction of a secant pile retaining wall in front of the property to protect it. This has been accounted for in the overall cost of the option.
2.3.
Option 2
2.3.1. 2.3.2.
Drg No. 400445-SK-049-02 (Appendix A) This option is recommended if 64 Knock Road is vested by Roads Service. The house would be demolished allowing 1 No. road to facilitate access to all the properties (existing and future) between Shandon Park and Kensington Road. The access would join with the A55 on Roads Service land next to Marie Curie before traversing down and terminating at Kingsden Park.
2.3.3.
The single access would have its own dedicated right turn pocket between the PSNI emergency entrance and Knockcastle Park.
Doc ref: Issued:

2.3.4.
The cost for any retaining walls required has been included in the overall scheme estimate. The construction of side slopes will move the access road away from the main alignment and will reduce the area of land that can be developed.
2.3.5.
There will be an associated cost with demolishing 64 Knock Road.
The cost for
demolishing this property has been accounted for in the overall cost of the option.
2.4.
2.4.1. 2.4.2.
Option 3
Drg No. 400445-SK-049-03 (Appendix A) This option is another alternative should 64 Knock Road be vested by Roads Service. A new road provides access to Kingsden Park and to Nos. 66 and 68 Knock Road and any future development on remaining Roads Service land. The road would terminate at Marie Curies fundraising house.
2.4.3.
The major difference between Option 2 and 3 is that this option does not exit onto the A55 but onto Shandon Park, thus removing a potential point of conflict and increasing safety along the main alignment. However this junction is 20m from stop line and 35m from centre of junction. This conflicts not only with the Shandon Park/A55 junction but also the new Ascot Link/Shandon Park junction.
2.4.4.
Shandon Park is currently quite busy in the morning (on average 530 cars exiting 8am 9am, Appendix C). The introduction of an further entrance for what could be developed into a residential area could impact on both safety, with a potential increase in collisions, and waiting times at the junction, with additional vehicles adding to the existing queues.
2.4.5.
The cost for any retaining walls required has been included in the overall scheme estimate. The construction of side slopes will move the access road away from the main alignment and will reduce the area of land that can be developed
2.4.6.
There will be an associated cost with demolishing 64 Knock Road.
The cost for
demolishing this property has been accounted for in the overall cost of this option.

Residents Meetings
Consultation with the affected residents and landowners with regard to the A55 widening and associated accommodation works has commenced. At time of writing, the Client, representatives from Roads Service (Network Development and Lands Section) and Amey Consulting have met with the residents of the affected properties.
Doc ref: Issued:
- 5-
2.5.2.
The occupants of 64 Knock Road stated that in principle their preference would be to have Roads Service purchase their house and knock it down for the scheme / access road whilst holding on to as much land as possible at the rear of the site to allow for redevelopment.
2.5.3.
A meeting was held with representatives from Marie Curie. delicate nature of the work carried out there.
It was agreed that no
access proposal would have a negative impact on the hospital building due to the
2.5.4.
Residents in Shandon Park expressed opposition to an additional access road joining Shandon Park, especially with Ascot Link being sited opposite. Residents were also concerned with the current congestion in peak periods from commuter through-traffic using Shandon Park as opposed to the main A55 Knock Road.
2.5.5.
To address these concerns, Amey Consulting carried out additional traffic surveys at the Shandon Park/A55 junction to establish existing queue lengths on Shandon Park. The results of the traffic survey and some photographs showing the queues can be found in Appendix C.
2.5.6.
Further comments from residents as well as a list of addresses visited during the consultation process can be found in Appendix D.
2.6.
Junction Modelling
2.6.1.
Further junction modelling of Shandon Park was carried out assuming Option 3 was to be taken forward to see if the junction could cope with the additional vehicles envisaged coming from Ascot Link and Option 3. The results of this show that the degree of saturation of Shandon Park is as follows: Table 1: Junction Modelling Results AM Peak Forecast Year Degree of Saturation (%) Degree of Saturation (%) Existing Layout Proposed Layout with Ascot Link Proposed Layout with Ascot Link and Option 3 2008 2010 2025

2.6.2.
These results indicate that the addition of the two link roads into Shandon Park would increase the level of saturation significantly, even further than would be expected with normal increases in traffic between 2008 and 2025. This would increase queues on Shandon Park. To alleviate this problem, the junction would require remodelling and Shandon Park itself may require widening to improve turning facilities on this leg of the junction. A full breakdown of the performance of each leg of the junction can be found in Appendix F - Junction Modelling.

Conclusion / Recommendation
2.8.1.
Whilst providing the greatest Net Value, Option 1 would be constructed at great risk and inconvenience to 64 Knock Road. It requires a secant pile wall to retain the property, which would be approximately 4.5m from the front of the building. A full structural survey of the property would need to be carried out prior to and after the construction of the wall to accurately determine the damage to the house, if any. The loss of land to the front of the property and its proximity to the A55 may reduce the overall value of the property.
2.8.2.
Option 3 removes all the extra access points on the A55 and relocates them to a single access on Shandon Park. This is an improvement on the safety of the Knock Road, but it introduces another access onto Shandon Park. This already busy intersection will also accommodate the new Ascot Park and it is Ameys opinion, based on the junction modelling that the additional traffic will saturate the junction further and increase the likelihood of collisions.
2.8.3.
Initial meetings with residents have indicated that Option 2 is the most favourable to solve the problems they currently face with gaining access to their properties.
2.8.4.
Option 2 reduces the number of accesses onto the A55 between Shandon Park and Kensington Road from four to one, thereby improving safety of the adjacent main road.
2.8.5.
Option 2 requires the vesting of 64 Knock Road. This property was included in the 2005 scheme estimate at 450,000.
2.8.6.
The cost of a Kingsden access was in the 2005 scheme estimate at 104,000. The increase in the construction cost of Option 2 to 185,000 reduces the scheme Optimism Bias to 18%. (2005 estimate stated OB of 20%).
2.8.7.
It is the opinion of Roads Service Consultancy and Amey Consulting that Option 2 is the best solution for accessing the existing and any future properties in the area.

Median Appraisal
Introduction
Currently the central median at the Knockwood Park junction is 2.3m wide. A banned uturn currently is in place. Right turning traffic out of Clarawood encounters difficulty crossing four lanes. A two stage manoeuvre is often required which leaves traffic in the central island partially exposed to oncoming traffic. The proposed widening of the median will improve road conditions and increase safety at this junction.

Design Manual for Roads and Bridges Requirements

Width of Physical Islands in the Centre
7.38
At single lane dualling and dual carriageway junctions, the width of the central island at the crossing point shall be 10.0m, including central reserve hardstrips. In exceptional circumstances where use by very long vehicles is expected and a roundabout is not feasible, a width of 14.0m including hardstrips, will be needed to shelter the largest articulated vehicles (16.5m) and a width of 16.5m, including hardstrips, will be required to shelter drawbar trailer combinations (18.35m). The minimum width of a physical island, usually located at the end of the direct taper shall be 3.5m (shown in figs 7/5 & 7/6).

Excerpt from DMRB Vol 6: TD 42.95, Para 7.38 & 7.39
3.2.1.
As this junction is situated within the dual section of the A55, the above paragraphs from the DMRB must apply as it is specified as mandatory.
3.2.2.
Provision of a lesser central island width must be approved as a departure from standards.
Doc ref: Issued:
- 11-
3.2.3.
The application for a departure from standards takes account of the restricted Stopping Sight Distance (SSD) on approach to the gap in the central median and the substandard sight splay for vehicles exiting Clarawood estate.

Option 1 - 10m min Central Reserve

Drg No. WK/24/05/10mCR3 (Appendix A) Overview: The provision of the 10m provides an improvement in safety for all vehicles right turning out of Clarawood Estate. Accident Information for Clarawood junction can be found in Appendix E. Provides compliance with the requirements in DMRB; Reduced risk of being identified as CDM Risk at Public Inquiry or Safety Audit; Maintains right turning provision entry/exit to Clarawood Estate; Improves the current level of accessibility and integration for the residents of Clarawood Estate; Increased costs equate to approx 1.7% (165k - see Page 11) of scheme budget (9.7m).

3.4.1. 3.4.2.
Option 2 - 5m min Central Reserve

Drg No.WK/24/05/5mCR3 (Appendix A) Overview: The provision of the 5m median provides a marginal improvement from the 2.3m median in safety for smaller vehicles right turning out of Clarawood Estate. Does not comply with the requirements in DMRB (see Figure 3) Safety Audit identified the right turn exit from Clarawood as a risk, (refer to Stage 1 Road Safety Audit, para. 3.5.9 (Audit based on existing and 5m Layout)) CDM requires designer to Eliminate hazards and reduce risks during design Maintains right turning provision entry/exit to Clarawood Estate.

Option 3 - Closure of Central Reserve

Drg No. WK/24/05/5mCR4 (Appendix A) Overview: Significant improvements in safety as all right turning movements associated with the Clarawood Estate have been removed. Complies with CDM requirements for designer to Eliminate hazards and reduce risks during design. Reduces the level of Accessibility and Integration for the residents of Clarawood Estate. Significant diversionary routes for residents from south side of Clarawood Estate, with possibility of opposition from residents association. Alternative exits are located at Clara Road onto Sandown Road and Grand Parade leading to the A23 Castlereagh Road. (See Figure 4 for locations of exits and Drg No. 400445-SK-050 in Appendix A for alternate routes and additional journey times) Closed median is currently designed to be 5m but could be reduced to 2.5m. Marginal reduction (40k - see Page 14) in scheme costs (reduction in possible land take from Golf Course and carriageway widening).

Direct Access onto A55

Knockmount Kings Road
3.7.1.
As the Dual section of the A55 terminates at Ch 200 (just prior to Knockmount Park) all accesses are dealt with as right turning pockets under the provisions of TD42/95
3.7.2.
Residents living in close proximity to the signalised junction with Sandown Road/Shandon Park will be unable to make a right turn manoeuvre to access their properties. The central median area from Ch 420 Ch 660 will be constructed as traffic islands, physically preventing access across the carriageway at this location. The properties affected and alternative routes are detailed on Drawing Nos SK-048-01 & SK-048-02. (Refer to Appendix A)

Recommendation
Roads Service Consultancy and Amey Consulting proposes the 10m central median as it is the minimum standard that complies with the DMRB. Provision of a lesser central island width must be approved as a departure from standards. In addition, the application for a departure from standards should take account of the restricted stopping sight distance on approach to the gap in the central median and the sub-standard sight splay for vehicles exiting Clarawood estate.
