Disabled Driver Questionnaire
We want to produce a driver information programme for our disabled customers. To help us produce the best possible guidance, please take a few minutes to fill in our questionnaire.

The Project
The junction of the A45, A445 and B4029 (Wolston Lane) lies near the village of Ryton-on-Dunsmore, south of Coventry in Warwickshire. The junction (a staggered crossroads) has a poor safety record with 4 fatal, 7 serious and 20 slight accidents occurring between 1999 and 2004. The majority of these accidents occurred as a result of conflicting movements between side road traffic and through traffic on the A45. Speed cameras were installed along the A45 in an effort to reduce speeds and therefore accidents at the junction. Following the introduction of the speed cameras, safety concerns at the junction remained.
Traffic using side roads also experiences continued queuing and delay (estimated at 9 minutes for side road traffic). The outturn scheme aimed to reduce the number of accidents at the junction by removing the need for vehicles to cross the A45 via the gaps and to reduce the speed of A45 traffic in order to negotiate the junction. This would be done by replacing the existing staggered layout with a four arm roundabout, realigning Wolston Lane to approach the junction opposite the A445 approach, close off the old section of Wolston Lane and close the current central reservation gaps.
Post Opening Project Evaluation
As part of our ongoing programme of Post Opening Project Evaluation (POPE) a study has been undertaken comparing the outturn effects of this scheme to the predicted impacts. A summary of the report is available to download below. If you require a full version of the report, please contact us.
