ACT­IVE TRAVEL IMPROVEMENTS

As part of Her­it­age Hori­zons: Cairngorms 2030, an ambi­tious pro­gramme is under­way to put act­ive and sus­tain­able travel at the heart of a green­er future for the Nation­al Park.

The Cairngorms Nation­al Park Author­ity (CNPA) are work­ing with loc­al com­munit­ies to make it easy and safe for res­id­ents and vis­it­ors to get around in vil­lages in Badenoch and Strath­spey without a vehicle. By improv­ing act­ive travel infra­struc­ture and pub­lic spaces, we want to make it more enjoy­able for every­one to walk, cycle or get around using a wheelchair.

Listen­ing to loc­al views and ideas will be cent­ral to devel­op­ing the pro­pos­als. Ini­tially the focus of this pro­ject is on five vil­lages, whilst sup­port­ing oth­er act­ive travel ini­ti­at­ives cur­rently ongo­ings in the area. Along with many oth­er pro­jects this work will place act­ive travel at the heart of a green­er and health­i­er future.

Take the Survey!

Please take the time to read through the sur­vey and give us your ideas and com­ments about the cur­rent pro­pos­als and how you would like to see it improved in the future. It will take about 5 – 10 minutes.

Bene­fits of Act­ive Travel

Eco­nomy — Although vehicle access is not unim­port­ant in rur­al com­munit­ies, stud­ies have shown that provid­ing easy and safe access for people not arriv­ing by car can bene­fit the eco­nomy (e.g. Sus­trans, 2016). Sup­port­ing activ­ity-focused tour­ism based around walk­ing and cyc­ling with appro­pri­ate and safe infra­struc­ture can con­trib­ute fur­ther to that.

Envir­on­ment — In 2019 trans­port pro­duced 27% of the UK’s total emis­sions. Of this, the major­ity (91%) came from road trans­port vehicles (DFT, 2019). Fur­ther­more, with trans­port being one of the only sec­tors where emis­sions are rising, action is needed. A 2,000 per­son study by the Uni­ver­sity of Oxford found that those who switched from car-driv­ing to cyc­ling for just one trip per day reduced their car­bon foot­print by about 0.5 tonnes over a year.

Health — Walk­ing, and phys­ic­al activ­ity gen­er­ally, can reduce the risk of depres­sion, demen­tia and Alzheimer’s and can help reduce the risk of dis­ease pro­gres­sion for many ser­i­ous health con­di­tions such as heart dis­ease and a vari­ety of can­cers (Nation­al Walk­ing Strategy, 2014). Recent research, (Baker et al, 2021) out­lined that walk­ing and cyc­ling makes up 13 – 15% of all com­mut­ing jour­neys in Scot­land, bring­ing with it an annu­al eco­nom­ic health bene­fit of over £660m.

Equal­ity — The modes of trans­port that people use are influ­enced by their income. Evid­ence shows that people in lower income house­holds are more likely to take the bus, while people in high­er income house­holds are more likely to drive or take the train (Trans­port Scot­land, 2018, 2019). An access­ible loc­al envir­on­ment is fun­da­ment­al to dis­abled people’s abil­ity to both par­ti­cip­ate in their loc­al com­munity activ­it­ies and to link into wider trans­port networks.

Safety — Redu­cing the num­ber and speed of vehicles on our streets dra­mat­ic­ally improves safety for both ped­es­tri­ans and roads users. A recent study by the European Com­mis­sion (2020) found that across it’s 27 mem­ber states, fatal­it­ies over­whelm­ingly occurred in col­li­sions involving cars and trucks — high­light­ing the need to increase the pro­tec­tion of vul­ner­able road users such as ped­es­tri­ans, wheel­ers and cyclists.

COM­MUNITY ENGAGEMENT

Engage­ment Process

In the second half of 2022, a com­pre­hens­ive engage­ment exer­cise was under­taken to under­stand what act­ive travel improve­ments the Nethy Bridge com­munity would like to see made.

The stake­hold­er and com­munity engage­ment is being informed by the pre­par­a­tion of an Equal­ity Impact Assess­ment (EqIA).

Poten­tial Fund­ing DESIGN PROCESS

The most likely source of fund­ing is through Places for Every­one, a fund­ing mech­an­ism admin­istered by Sus­trans Scot­land to alloc­ate fund­ing for act­ive travel pro­jects. The aim of Places for Every­one is to cre­ate safer, more attract­ive, health­i­er places by increas­ing the num­ber of trips made by walk­ing, cyc­ling and wheel­ing for every­day jour­neys. Design prin­cipals guid­ing the devel­op­ment behind Places for Every­one are:

Devel­op ideas col­lab­or­at­ively and in part­ner­ship with communities

Facil­it­ate inde­pend­ent walk­ing, cyc­ling and wheel­ing for every­one, includ­ing an unac­com­pan­ied 12 year old

Design places that provide enjoy­ment, com­fort and protection

Ensure access for all and equal­ity of oppor­tun­ity in pub­lic space

Ensure all pro­pos­als are developed in a way that is con­text-spe­cif­ic and evidence-led

Real­loc­ate road space, and restrict motor traffic per­meab­il­ity to pri­or­it­ise people walk­ing, cyc­ling and wheel­ing over private motor vehicles

Design Pro­cess

The fig­ure below sets out the design process:

What is Traffic Calm­ing? REDU­CING TRAFFIC SPEEDS

Traffic calm­ing is nor­mally used in res­id­en­tial and urb­an areas. Phys­ic­al fea­tures are installed to reduce the speed and amount of traffic passing through an area to make roads safer for all road users. By doing this, the qual­ity of the loc­al envir­on­ment can also poten­tially be improved.

SAFETY AND ACCESSIBILITY

Chal­lenges Faced by People with Impaired Mobility

The needs of all people are being con­sidered when as part of this pro­ject. We know there are many chal­lenges faced by people with mobil­ity impair­ments which can cause them to be heav­ily depend­ant on oth­ers to help them move around. Cre­at­ing and main­tain­ing an access­ible pub­lic realm is cru­cial for ensur­ing that dis­abled people are not excluded from play­ing a full role in soci­ety. Dis­ab­il­it­ies and impair­ments can come in many forms:

Mobil­ity Impair­ments: includes people who use wheel­chairs and those who can walk but only with dif­fi­culty, often using some form of aid such as a stick or walk­ing frame.

Vis­ion Impair­ments: vis­ion impaired people include blind people and par­tially sighted people.

Hear­ing Impair­ments: RNID reports that there are 12 mil­lion people in the UK with hear­ing loss great­er than 25dB, of whom 151,000 are Brit­ish Sign Lan­guage (BSL) users (www​.rnid​.org​.uk).

Lim­it­a­tions with Reach­ing, Stretch­ing and Dex­ter­ity: these are fre­quently the res­ult of arth­rit­is, which can make these move­ments pain­ful and dif­fi­cult, or of mus­cu­lar dys­trophy caus­ing a loss of mus­cu­lar strength, or of com­plaints of the nervous system.

Neur­o­lo­gic­al and Learn­ing Dif­fer­ences: includ­ing those mak­ing it hard to under­stand com­plic­ated inform­a­tion or use com­plex machines (like some tick­et machines).

Accord­ing to the Nation­al Health Ser­vice (www​.nhs​.uk/​c​o​n​d​i​t​i​o​n​s​/​v​i​s​i​o​n​-loss), there are almost 2 mil­lion people in the UK liv­ing with sight loss. Of these, around 360,000 are registered as blind or par­tially sighted.

Approach­ing 70% of dis­abled people have a mobil­ity impair­ment; those with walk­ing dif­fi­culties out­num­ber wheel­chair users by about 10:1.

Although the main pur­pose of inclus­ive design is to provide good access for dis­abled people, designs that sat­is­fy their require­ments also meet the needs of many oth­er people. People trav­el­ling with small chil­dren (includ­ing in prams) or car­ry­ing lug­gage or heavy shop­ping will all bene­fit from an access­ible envir­on­ment, as will people with tem­por­ary mobil­ity prob­lems (e.g. a leg in plaster) and many older people.

The photo above shows a loc­a­tion in New­ton­more, where a per­son is push­ing someone in a wheel­chair in the middle of the road where the foot­way is not wide enough for them.

Oth­er mobil­ity safe and inclus­ive design con­sid­er­a­tions include:

Ton­al and col­our Width and height con­trast clearance

Inclines / gradients

Ramps

Seat­ing

Street fur­niture

Sur­face mater­i­als and maintenance

Guard­rails

Road cross­ings Steps and stairs

Dropped kerbs and raised crossings

Street works and oth­er poten­tial hazards

Foot­bridges and underpasses

Plat­forms: rail services

RECOM­MEN­DED INTERVENTIONS

A long list of options was cre­ated through engage­ment with the com­munity and key stake­hold­ers, site vis­its and a desktop review / baseline ana­lys­is of the exist­ing trans­port infra­struc­ture and travel char­ac­ter­ist­ics with­in Nethy Bridge.

An option apprais­al was then under­taken to rank and identi­fy pri­or­ity options, with options being assessed against a range of com­munity object­ives and the deliv­er­ab­il­ity of each option. The map below shows the options which are recom­men­ded to be con­sidered to be taken forward.

CROSS­INGS AND TRAFFIC CALMING

A num­ber of loc­a­tions for improved cross­ings have been iden­ti­fied with a view to cre­at­ing a safer envir­on­ment for ped­es­tri­ans, par­tic­u­larly vul­ner­able road users such as older people, chil­dren and those who identi­fy as hav­ing a disability.

Some of the options for ped­es­tri­an cross­ings also act as traffic calm­ing fea­tures. In addi­tion, oth­er traffic calm­ing fea­tures could be provided. Traffic calm­ing has been shown to increase safety for cyc­lists on the road by redu­cing vehicle speeds.

Real World Example Type

1. Dropped Kerbs (not at junctions)

2. Dropped Kerbs (at junctions)

Descrip­tion

These provide step free cross­ings, they could be accom­pan­ied by a dif­fer­ent mater­i­al across the road to indic­ate to drivers that people are likely to be cross­ing the road at this point.

Pros and Cons

Pros: Min­im­al changes to the lay-out mean these would be suit­able in places where traffic speeds are already suit­ably low.

Cons: drop kerbs involve lower­ing the foot­way to the same level as the road; this makes the foot­way uneven which is dif­fi­cult to nav­ig­ate for some people such as wheel­chair users and it can become an increased haz­ard dur­ing sub-zero temperatures.

1. Raised Cross­ing

2. Raised Table (junc­tions)

The road is raised to foot­way level. This can be across the main road, at side road or over the whole junction.

Pros: These types of cross­ing are use­ful in places where traffic speeds make people feel unsafe when cross­ing the road.

Like drop kerbs, the raised fea­tures provide step free cross­ings which are bet­ter for people with mobil­ity impair­ments, people in wheel­chairs and people push­ing prams. Vehicles are encour­aged to slow down. These types also do not have the draw­backs of the drop kerbs.

The raised cross­ing makes is more obvi­ous to drivers that it is a place people may be cross­ing the road.

Cons: these types of fea­tures may require more main­ten­ance com­pared to drop kerbs.

1. Con­tinu­ous Foot­way Cros­sov­er (junc­tions)

2. Con­trolled Cross­ing (not at junctions)

This could be traffic lights or a zebra crossing.

Pros: these give more pri­or­ity to ped­es­tri­ans and / or are safer for ped­es­tri­ans, par­tic­u­larly vul­ner­able road users

Cons: there is an increase cost in terms of con­struc­tion and maintenance.

1. Pave­ment Build Outs / Lane Deflec­tion (not at junctions)

2. Pave­ment Build Outs / Lane Deflec­tion / Ped­es­tri­an Crossing

The image shows lane deflection.

Pros: these fea­tures slow vehicles mak­ing it a safer envir­on­ment, par­tic­u­larly for people cycling.

Cons: these fea­tures do not work so well in places with a high num­bers of vehicles passing through.

PATHS AND PUB­LIC REALM

Path Examples

Below are some examples of mater­i­als that could be used to con­struct footpaths.

When choos­ing the sur­face type it is import­ant to con­sider issues such as cost, drain­age and main­ten­ance and a mater­i­al that is with­in the char­ac­ter of the sur­round­ings. Even a bit­mac sur­face will not be totally main­ten­ance free; they do need inspect­ing and some planned, routine main­ten­ance dur­ing their useable lives.

Bound sur­faces

Semi-bound sur­faces

1. Bit­mac Path

2. Res­in bound

very dur­able, easy to main­tain and suit­able for most path user types, allow­ing all year-round use more com­fort­able for use by cyc­lists and wheel­chair users due to the very smooth fin­ish lower annu­al main­ten­ance liab­il­ity due to high levels of dur­ab­il­ity can be applied to steep ramps where it will res­ist water scour­ing far bet­ter than unbound and semi-bound mater­i­als rel­at­ively simple to repair dam­age (e.g. potholes) than some oth­er bound sur­faces exper­i­enced ​‘tar­ring’ con­tract­ors are read­ily avail­able through­out Scot­land typ­ic­al lifespan of 30+ years

Pub­lic Realm Examples

1. Cedec path

2. Ulti­trec path

100% recycled and inert product made from screened con­struc­tion waste, blaes and road plan­ings a suit­able and cost-effect­ive altern­at­ive to unbound sur­faces or where a bound sur­face is either too expens­ive and/​or not aes­thet­ic­ally accept­able highly dur­able sur­face and espe­cially suited to wood­land paths where water drip­ping off trees would quickly ​‘wash out’ an unbound sur­face lower install­a­tion costs than a bound sur­face rel­at­ively straight­for­ward to main­tain and repair areas of restric­ted dam­age typ­ic­al lifespan of 10 – 15 years
