[null,"Effective width ",1,"Much more narrow than Arle Court to Telstar Way. Only room for pedestrians, Cyclists are moved to a path the other side of the dual carriageway. ",3,"Additional carriageway lane east-bound will replace the existing footpath. 3m new shared use footway/cycleway will be provided between the trees and dual carriageway. Existing footway widened to 3m near Benhall roundabout. "]
[null,"Dropped kerbs",0,"The dropped curbs are all aligned and ok in this area. The desire lines are however not all covered due to dual carriageway making crossings hard to design in.",1,"Proposed pedestrian crossing near Benhall roundabout with tactile pavings and dropped kerbs.  "]
[null,"Gradient ",3,"Flat.",3,"No changes to the existing gradient which is flat."]
[null,"Obstructions ",-1,"Bus stop encroaches on walkway. Lamp posts and sign support poles in walkway.",3,"The exisitng footpath will be replaced by A40 east bound carriageway widening. The new shared use path behind the trees will not suffer from the same obstructions - road lighting, bus stops - as is set back from the carriageway. "]
[null,"Permeability",-3,"No informal ones at all due to dual carriageway and barriers along roadside. There is a strange crossing point through the dual carriage way barriers at Benhall Roundabout that is not connected to either side of the road. This may just be a legacy crossing that was eventually removed from the main footpath.",1,"Proposed pedestrian crossing near Benhall roundabout, however, there are no informal crossing oppurtunities outside of the toucan crossing at Telstar way junction and the pedstrian crossing on the eatsbound appraoch to Benhall roundabout. "]
[null,"Legibility ",0,"Good signage to landmarks and key attractors, street name signs easily seen and tactile information where needed.",0,"GCHQ fenceline to be moved back 2.2m at the corner of Telstar way junction. Oppurtunity to improve signage and directions to a shared use path."]
[null,"Lighting ",3,"High powered road lighting covering walkway a close intervals.",2,"High powered road lighting at the edge of the carriageway will need to be replaced due to carriageway widening. Lighting may be reduced because of tree cover but not by a signifcant amount."]
[null,"Tactile Information",0,"There is tactile information at the crossings. There is however no deliniation of pavements. ",2,"There is tactile information at the crossings, including removal of the no-cycle throughway sign. Proposed tactile paving on the appraoch to Benhall roundabout for the 2.4m pedestrian crossing."]
[null,"Colour Contrast",0,"Colour contrast present at paving at road crossing at Telstar Way. No colour contrasting for guardrails or bustop obstructing pavement. ",1,"Colour contrast for retaining wall and GCHQ fencing will be maintained. "]
[null,"Personal security ",0,"Natural security from continous flow of vehilces along carriageway next to path. The area is however unpopulated. There is good lighting with few hiding places and the route is open. No CCTV.",-1,"Natural surveillance will be reduced from setting the shared use path back from the carriageway and behind the tree corridor. "]
[null,"Surface quality ",-3,"Potholes and cracks present in surface of walkway",3,"The existing footpath will be replaced by widening the eastbound A40 carriageway to incoporate an additional lane. New shared use path will offer a smooth surface for pedestrians and cyclists. "]
[null,"User Conflict",0,"Cyclists ordered to dismount and directed to cross the road and use path on south side of link. Therefore potential for user conflict is reduced, but only if cyclists follow this direction. If they stay on the North side of the link then the pavement is not wide enough to cater for pedestrians and cyclists.",3,"3m wide shared use path will provide a reduction in user conflict than is currently experienced. "]
[null,"Quality of environment",-2,"Excessive traffic passing along dual carriageway next to path creating high noise and air polution levels. Also a very exposed area for pedestrians and/or cyclists.",2,"Exisitng tree corridor to remain unaffected. Shared use path will be set back from the carriageway, leading to an improvement in the quality of the environment. A reduction in exposure for pedestrians and cyclists from tree cover."]
[null,"Maintenance",1,"Link is clean, with no litter. No vandalism. Foliage is well maintained ",2,"New shared use path will be set back from the carriageway, allowing for better maintenance and no debris from motor vehicles using the A40."]
