2.1.1.7 Toucan crossings navigating Tollbar End roundabout provide specific<br />

facilities for vulnerable people (e.g. the elderly, disabled people and<br />

children), whilst the underpasses/overbridges traversing Stivichall Junction<br />

also support the provision of a bridleway.<br />

2.1.1.8 At present pedestrians are crossing the A45 Stonebridge Highway, where<br />

there are no pedestrian crossings. This may be due to it providing a ‘quick<br />

route access’ between the residences of Willenhall, the Stonebridge<br />

Trading Estate and to Footpath no. 443, despite the need to traverse the<br />

safety barrier in the middle of the highway.<br />

2.1.1.9 WCC and CCC provided the traffic accident data for this Assessment, for<br />

the period January 2001 to December 2005. It should be noted that the<br />

data examined in the NMU Assessment only represents accidents within<br />

the geographical area of the Scheme. However, the traffic accident<br />

information used in the Cost Benefit Analysis (COBA) uses a wider<br />

catchment area including other roads that are affected by the Scheme.<br />

2.1.1.<strong>10</strong> Accident data (in the form of Personal Injury Accident reports collected by<br />

the Police between 2001 and 2005 inclusive) have been provided by the<br />

Warwickshire County Council Road Safety Intelligence Team. During this<br />

period, a total of 94 accidents were recorded within <strong>10</strong>0m of the Scheme<br />

footprint.<br />

2.1.2 Community and Commercial Facilities<br />

2.1.2.1 Key community facilities within the Study Area are listed in Table <strong>12</strong>.3 and<br />

presented in Figure <strong>12</strong>.3. The main commercial facilities have also been<br />

considered, as they are likely to provide start and end points of journeys for<br />

employees using footpaths and cycleways within the Study Area.<br />
