M1 Junction 19 Improvement
Stage 1 Road Safety Audit Designer’s Response /
Exceptions Report
Problem 15 - Signage for non motorway traffic
Junction of A14 and A5199
Problem
The new junction layout removes any
access to the local road network from the
A14. Therefore under this layout non
motorway traffic must leave the A14 at the
junction with the A5199 approximately 6
miles east.
Recommendation
Provide details of signage for non
motorway traffic using the A14.
Designer’s Response
At the next stage of design development, the traffic signs and road marking design will
be amended to include details of signage for non motorway traffic using the A14 to exit
at its junction with the A5199.
Exception
No exception required.
Problem 16 - Sign face MIS5
M1 – A14 Eastbound Link
Problem
MIS5 is repeated at two locations on the
M1 – A14 Eastbound Link. This sign shows
a lane reduction from 4 lanes to 3 to
indicate the slip lane merging into the
mainline traffic. This sign should show 3
lanes becoming 2 and should also be on a
green background rather than blue to
reflect the end of motorway.
Recommendation
Amend sign MIS5.
Designer’s Response
At the next stage of design development, the traffic signs and road marking design will
be amended to introduce additional traffic signs MIS6 to show 3 lanes becoming 2 using
a green background.
Exception
No exception required.
