The Strategy

Route Outcomes

Route Outcomes (ROs) set out what the HA will seek to obtain from the M11 route over the ten year period of the RMS. They are designed to contribute to the Policy Objectives, improve the performance of the Route Functions, support the Land Use and Development Control Statement and address Route Problems and Issues along the whole route or at specific locations.

Route Outcomes are initially developed from Route Problems and Issues, proposed land use developments, development planning control policies and where poor route performance has been identified. For each scenario that affects the function or performance of the M11 route, a Route Outcome has been derived. This produces a large number of possible actions that after rationalisation, the HA will seek to use to prioritise improvements for the M11 over the next ten years.

The Route Outcomes focus on achieving the three elements on the HA's slogan and they are:

"Safe roads, Reliable journeys, Informed travellers"

Route Outcome Summary Sheets

HA's prioritisation for delivery of the possible actions, found in the summary sheets, or the importance of particular route outcomes over others.

The following have been identified as Route Outcomes:

RO1 Improve journey time reliability throughout the M11 motorway
RO2 Reduce accident clusters at the M11 junctions and/or links
RO3 Investigate increasing road user care facilities on the M11 between J8 and J14
RO4 Improve road user information
RO5 Minimise the impact of the M11 on the adjacent local environment
RO6 Reduce the impact of noise caused by the M11 on local residents
RO7 Improve Non-Motorised User (NMU) facilities, particularly at M11 junctions
RO8 Facilitate increased multi-modal transport integration
RO9 Improve the accessibility of the M11 at all existing junctions
RO10 M11 Junction 4 - Improve safety and reduce congestion at the M11/A406 Junction
RO11 M11 Junction 7 - Improve operation of the M11/A414 Junction
RO12 M11 Junctions 9 to 14 - Reduce exit blocking on slip roads approaching Cambridge (peak periods)
RO13 M11 Junction 14 - Reduce the problems of congestion, weaving and accidents
RO14 Minimise the traffic effects from future growth at Stansted Airport
RO15 Minimise the traffic effects from the growth areas along the London-Stansted-Cambridge-Peterborough corridor, including Harlow
RO16 Minimise the effects of the M11 on the local roads
RO17 M11 Junctions 8 to 9 - Reduce the impact of the gradients on this 2-lane section
