2.2.1.9 Other routes comparatively well used included:
Environmental Statement Volume 2
A45/A46 Tollbar End Improvement
Entry point 62 at the western end of the A45 Stonebridge Highway.
A total of 26 NMU used this entry point during the survey period;
Entry point 24 is located to the west of Tollbar End roundabout. This
entry point provides access to and from the southern edge of the
Willenhall District. Of the 24 pedestrians utilising entry point 24
during the survey period, 22 did so on the weekend; and,
Entry points 3 and 4 are adjacent to each other and located on the
A45 London Road, south of Tollbar End roundabout. NMU journeys
made from these two entry points are generally short, exiting further
south on A45 London Road, at Tollbar End roundabout and at exit
point 15 on Rowley Road.
2.2.1.10 Therefore, the survey showed that the greatest areas of NMU activity/
movement were across Stivichall Junction and at Tollbar End roundabout,
which were used on a daily basis. Although there was less activity along
the A45 Stonebridge Highway (full survey data is provided in Appendix
12.1), the NMU facilities along the highway (particularly the south side and
the eastern end of the north side) were still regularly used.
Cyclists
2.2.1.11 Cyclist movements recorded during the surveys indicate that:
The routes within the Study Area were used equally on weekdays
and weekends. However, the number of cyclists recorded on
Saturday was lower than for the remainder of the survey (Friday,
131; Saturday, 78; Sunday, 136); and,
The distribution of cyclists and pedestrians using entry points and
the ensuing route to exit point follow similar patterns (see Figures
12.4 -12.9), indicating that NMU routes around Tollbar End
roundabout and Stivichall Junction were the most heavily used.
