[null,"Effective width ",2,"Wide enough to be comfortably segregated until halfway to Triumph Traffic Lights. The rest of the route is wide enough then for pedestrians only, with cyclists directed onto Kingsley Gardens back road. ",3,"Effective width - 3m wide segregated cycle track along the majoirty of the route, catering for cyclists moving in both directions (1.5m width for each direction). 2m wide footpath alongside segregated cycle track."]
[null,"Dropped kerbs",2,"Dropped Kerbs located at relevant crossings and desire lines.",3,"Table top crossings provided at all junctions with the A40 and side roads (including Tennyson road, Griffiths Avenue and church road). "]
[null,"Gradient ",3,"Completely flat.",3,"No change in gradient."]
[null,"Obstructions ",2,"None. Pavement is clear all the way along, apart from a bus stop that partially blocks footpath about halfway along the link. ",3,"Exisitng conditions mean that the footpath is clear for the majoirty of the route. Cycle tracks and footpath will diverge to ensure the bus stop does not obstruct movements."]
[null,"Permeability",1,"Formal crossing by subway at Benhall Roundabout and numerous traffic light supported and island supported crossings up to the railway overbridge. Road is busy during peaks but could also be informally crossed most of the rest of the day by some pedestrains.",2,"The width of the carriageway and high traffic volumes means that crossing oppurtunties are limited. There will be small improvements to junctions with side roads at Griffiths Avenue and at Triumph traffic lights that will improve permeability and formal crossing oppurtunities.  "]
[null,"Legibility ",0,"Good signage to landmarks and key attractors, street name signs easily seen and tactile information where needed.",2,"There will be an improvement in legibility of pedestrian and walking tracks, mainly because the cycle track and footpath will be segergated but sit alongside each other. We expect improvements in signage and road markings to adequately show segregation between the footpath and cycle track. "]
[null,"Lighting ",3,"High powered road lighting covering walkway a close intervals.",3,"The footpath will run alognside the carriageway and will make use of existing street lighting to highlight the route."]
[null,"Tactile Information",1,"There is tactile information at all crossing types and there is a thick white line deliniating the shared use path covering half of the links length. ",3,"Tactile information will serve to delineate routes and segregate pedestrians from other users (cyclists) "]
[null,"Colour Contrast",0,"Colour contrast present at paving at road crossings. There is however no colour contrast for shared use path split between pedestrian side and cyclist side.  ",1,"We expect colour contrast at junctions with side roads (Table top crossings) that provide priority to cyclists and pedestrians at Griffiths Avenue and Kingsley Gardens."]
[null,"Personal security ",2,"Plenty of lighting. No indication of anti social behaviour, although bus stop was cordoned off, looking like a vehicle accident rather than anti-social behaviour . Well populated areas with lots of natural survelliance. Safe day and night. However, the bus stop was cordoned off showing an accident had taken place. ",3,"There is no evidence of street crime or anti-social behaviour along the route. Good natural surveillance will be retained, with sightlines from the road to the footpath maintained. "]
[null,"Surface quality ",2,"Very good quality and well maintained.",2,"The existing surface is in good condition for pedestrians and this will be maintained. "]
[null,"User Conflict",1,"Shared use path and pedestrians and cyclist seperated when this ends with cyclists directed onto Kingsley Gardens back road. Pavement is only wide enough from this point on to accommodate pedestrians though, if cyclists stay on pavement there will be potential user conflicts. ",3,"There will be clear segregation between cyclists and pedestrians along the route, reducign user conflict. The new paths will be wide enough to cater for pedestrians and cyclists that will reduce crowding."]
[null,"Quality of environment",0,"Single carriageway road, less traffic and less noise pollution. No barriers protecting NMU's, however speed limit is lower on roadway. ",2,"There is already good provision of public space and large, mature trees alongside the cycleway/footpath. The scheme will bring the cycleway closer to the highway, however, the verge is wide enough to acccommodate both the cycleway and the footpath to be set back from the highway to offer better safety. "]
[null,"Maintenance",2,"No litter present. Main link  looks well maintained. Foliage is well maintained. The markings for cyclists lanes are worn and faded. ",3,"No litter present and standards will be maintained. Foliage is well maintained and trees are well cut back and trimmed. Road markings for cyclists and pedestrians will be introduced and maintained. "]
