A5 Nesscliffe Bypass
4. Conclusion
- The traffic data collected as part of this Traffic Impact Study demonstrates that the new A5 Nesscliffe Bypass, which opened on 10th March 2003, carries around 17,100 vehicles per day (on an average weekday). Traffic count data, post scheme opening in March, shows very low traffic volumes on the old A5 through the village, clearly indicating that the scheme has been successful in routeing practically all the vehicles (92%) away from the village.
- The results from the traffic count data collected for this TIS Report suggest that there has been a straightforward re-routing from the old road to the new bypass. Very little re-distribution from other roads in the area has been observed.
- The Journey Time Surveys suggest that there are time savings of up to 3 minutes for journeys along the four mile route that was monitored.
- The One Year 'After' Count for this scheme's Post Opening Project Evaluation will be undertaken in March / April 2004.
