[null,"Effective width ",2,"Very wide shared use path.",3,"It is expected that the shared use path will be maintained, however, better segregation of pedestrians and the cycle ways will be forthcoming, that will require further widening."]
[null,"Dropped kerbs",2,"Dropped kerbs located at relevant crossings.",2,"Dropped kerbs located at toucan crossing near Benhall roundabout and at Gloucestershire College/Princess Elizabeth Way Junction will be retained. "]
[null,"Gradient ",2,"Slight gradient near Benhall Roundabout at the end of the link, but mostly flat.",2,"No changes to the gradient.. "]
[null,"Obstructions ",1,"There are some trees periodically obstructing up to half of the cyclists designated side of the shared use path. Bus stops are located out of the main route, on the grass verge by the roadway. ",2,"Trees will be maintained and foliage cut back to reduce obstructions to the cycleway and footpath. No change to bus stops which will remain on the grass verge by the roadway."]
[null,"Permeability",-1,"Road very busy at peak times, informal crossing oppertunities very low at this time. Not many dropped kerbs outside of the formal crossing areas.",-1,"Road is very busy during peak times, informal crossing oppurtunities will be limited across PE way, with crossing limited to formal toucan crossings at Benhall roundabout and at the Gloucestershire College and Princess Elizabeth Way Junction."]
[null,"Legibility ",-1,"Good signage to landmarks and key attractors, street name signs easily seen and tactile information where needed.",2,"The shared use path is not legible, and this will be improved as part of the scheme. Segregation of the footpath and the cycle way will be complemented by signs and road markings as it is not clear who has priority."]
[null,"Lighting ",3,"High powered road lighting covering walkway at close intervals.",3,"Good road lighting already exists. No change."]
[null,"Tactile Information",0,"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. The existing delineation is quite faded with no additional information showing who should be on either side of the white line. ",2,"Thick white line delineating segregated cycle and footpath will continue to reduce user conflict, however, the existing delineation is quite faded and no signs apart from path markings which will be improved. "]
[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.  ",3,"Colour contrasts will be maintained at formal crossings. Colour contrast on segregated cycle and footway to better delineate routes"]
[null,"Personal security ",2,"Busy road with some natural suviellance due to housing on East side of road. Well lit. No signs of anti social behaviour. Link is by Gloucestershire College and a school, so lots of pedestrian and cycle movements to access these educational facilities. ",2,"Natural surveillance with residential areas overlooking the route. No change in personal security. "]
[null,"Surface quality ",1,"Decent quality, but some cracking and undulation on the shared use path. Well-worn section near Benhall roundabout.",3,"Improvements to surface quality from scheme delivery. New road markings and better segregation will be provided and improve surafce quality."]
[null,"User Conflict",0,"Shared use path all the way up with good width. Pavement is seperated from roadway by wide grass verge. Lots of room for peak flows. However, no information shwoing who should be on either side of the thick white line designed to delineate pedestrians and cyclists. ",2,"The existing shred use path is well used by pedestrians and cyclists leading to some crowding and problems between pedestrians and cyclists as each have equal priority. New segregated cycle and footpaths will reduce user conflict considerably. "]
[null,"Quality of environment",1,"Single carriageway road, less traffic and less noise pollution. No barriers protecting NMU's, however speed limit is lower on roadway and there is a wide grass verge seperating traffic from NMU's. Some vacant land behind fencing near PE way tarffic lights.",2,"The quality of environment will improve under the scheme, with more effective operation of pedestrian and cycle flows, allowing for further improvements to street scape and operation of businesses located near Gloucestershire College (cafes). Hazards will be better marked - utlities, internet boxes."]
[null,"Maintenance",1,"No litter present. Main link  looks adequately maintained. Foliage adequately maintained. The markings for cyclists lanes are worn and faded. ",3,"Markings for pedestrians and cyclist lanes will be improved. No litter present and foliage sprouting from vacant land behind fencing will be cut back to prevent obstruction. "]
