BOC Immingham Dissolved Acetylene Project Environmental Statement: Vol. 2 Main Text 12.43 The calculated accident rates for all routes are lower than the national average, and therefore based on this information the surrounding highway network does not appear to have any inherent safety concerns. 12.44 The severity ratio of accidents is calculated using the equation below: 12.45 During the three year period, Routes A and C did not experience any serious or fatal accidents and, as such, the severity ratio is 0. There was however one serious accident on Route B, therefore the severity ratio is 0.33. Highway Network and Receptors Overview 12.46 The proposed development would be located on land adjacent to the existing BOC facility that is located off Hobson Way, near Immingham. The site is well served by the existing highway infrastructure as shown in Figure 12.1 overleaf. The site is connected to the strategic road network, the A180, either via Kiln Lane to the north west or South Marsh Road to the south east; both roads link on to the A1173 before joining the A180.

BOC Immingham Dissolved Acetylene Project Environmental Statement: Vol. 2 Main Text Hobson Way 12.47 Hobson Way is a single carriageway road which is subject to a 40 mph speed limit. Kiln Lane 12.48 Kiln Lane is a single carriageway road which is subject to a 40 mph speed limit. There is also a signalised level crossing part way along Kiln Lane which passes over the Grimsby Light Railway Line. A1173 12.49 The A1173, which connects through to the A180 via a grade separated roundabout, is a single carriageway road subject to the national speed limit. A180 12.50 The A180 (T) is a two lane dual carriageway trunk road managed by the HA, and is subject to the national speed limit i.e. 70 mph. The A180 (T) is the principal highway in the local area. It joins the A16 to the east on the outskirts of Grimsby and the A15 and M180 to the west in the vicinity of Scunthorpe. Sensitivity of Receptors 12.51 Table 12.11 presents the receptors to be used in the transport assessment, and their level of sensitivity. Table 12.11 Identification of Receptors Location Sensitivity Justification Hobson Way Low Single-carriageway road through predominantly industrial areas and carrying high numbers of HGVs. Kiln Lane Low Single-carriageway road through predominantly industrial areas and carrying high numbers of HGVs. A1173 Low Single-carriageway road through predominantly industrial areas and carrying high numbers of HGVs. A180 (southbound) Low Dual-carriageway road carrying high numbers of HGVs. A180 (northbound) Low Dual-carriageway road carrying high numbers of HGVs. Sustainable Modes of Travel 12.52 There is no formal cycling infrastructure within the vicinity of the site, although there are a number of paved footways and public bridleways which connect Hobson Way to the residential areas of Stallingborough and Immingham. 12.53 A bridleway, bridleway 34, runs along two of the boundaries of the field adjacent to Hobson Way and South Marsh Road, and there is also a public footpath, footpath 35, that runs from the corner of Hobson Way and South Marsh Road to the Humber Estuary. 12.54 A lit footway lines the western side of Hobson Way in the vicinity of the site and connects into a wider network of footways on the local highway network. 12.55 There are no bus services operating in the immediate vicinity of the development site. The closest services are the 45 45M and 46 which operate along Kiln Lane and Laporte Road near Immingham. The coverage and frequency of these services are included within Table 12.12. It is noted that these services are not within an acceptable walking distance of the development site. 5100935.404 Environmental Statement August 2011 215
