Priority Junctions & Development Accesses

Overview

A two-day course covering the principles of design and good practice, with practical examples and workshops to reinforce key learning points for the design of Priority Junctions and Development Accesses.

After taking this course, delegates will be more confident about applying good practice principles to their designs, resulting in better designs from both a road safety and capacity point of view.

Important Notes:

1. The design sessions include good practice guidance but not AutoCAD training.

2. The PICADY sessions include guidance on interpreting the model outputs and how the main input factors affect the results. They do not include a demonstration of the software. Training on PICADY is available from TRL, who own and license the software.

Topics Covered

The two-day course focuses on the following key areas:

• Principles of Junction Capacity
• MfS, MfS2 and DMRB Principles and Practice
• Direct Accesses and Development Accesses
• Visibility Issues
• Geometric Design Issues including Turning Lanes, Corner Radii, Vehicle Swept Paths etc.
• PICADY Input and Output
• Road Safety Issues

Certification

Delegates completing this course will receive a CPD certificate of attendance, recognised by both the IHE and CIHT.
