Abstract

The criteria for schemes in this study were that traffic flows should be greater than 8,000 vehicles per day and heavy goods vehicles should form at least 10% of the flow. The overall objective of the project was to see if schemes could be designed that would reduce the 85th percentile speed of vehicles to no more than relevant speed limit at each site. This leaflet summarises the results.
