DESIGN MANUAL FOR ROADS AND BRIDGES. VOL 6, SECTION 2, PART 7. VEHICULAR ACCESS TO ALL PURPOSE TRUNK ROADS

This new Department of Transport Standard sets out the mandatory standards for the geometric layout of connections for direct vehicular access to all purpose trunk roads where the numbers using the connection are below 500 AADT. The effects of vehicular access to trunk roads, and the results of recent research on the safety implications are given. This Standard replaces TA 4/80 entitled: Access to highways - safety implications which is withdrawn. In England this Standard should be read in conjunction with Circular Roads 4/88 and Planning Policy Guidance (PPG) note 13. In Wales, Welsh Office Circular 42/88 should be used.
