Pope of LNMS M54 Junction 2 Traffic Signals Evaluation Report

This document describes an evaluation of the Local Network Management Scheme (LNMS) at M54 Junction 2, focusing on its effectiveness in reducing congestion and improving safety since its completion in December 2015. Conducted by Atkins Limited for Highways England, the evaluation utilized traffic counts, journey time analyses, and accident rates to assess the scheme's performance. The findings revealed a reduction in accident rates but an increase in journey times and reduced reliability during peak hours. The economic impact was neutral with a Benefit Cost Ratio (BCR) of 1.3. Additionally, the scheme had negative effects on the landscape and no observed impact on physical fitness. The evaluation concluded that the scheme had mixed outcomes, with safety improvements but shortcomings in journey time efficiency and no advancement on DDA-related government policy issues. **This summary was written by an AI model and therefore should not be considered a definitive summary of the report.
