A total of 23 junction have been modelled. None of the Strategic Road Network junctions have been modelled. Base year turning counts have been undertaken at these junctions. Although modelling has not been undertaken at either of the motorway junctions, the forecast increase in traffic at these
junctions is higher than at any other junction. With the exception of the motorway junctions, nearly all of the significant junctions which are affected by forecast development flows are included. Notable exceptions are the two left-in left-out junctions located between junctions 14 and 19/20 on the A127.
Roundabouts and priority junctions have been modelled using JUNCTIONS 8 software. LINSIG has been used for modelling signalised junctions. With the exception of Junctions 15 and 16, which are treated as a double mini-roundabout, no consideration is taken of potential interference between the junctions. This is only likely to be an issue for those closely-spaced junctions in the centre of Brentwood.
