This review has been undertaken in accordance with the criteria for designation under section 5.4.2 of the New Roads and Street Works Act 1991 Code of Practice and the GeoPlace Traffic Sensitive Streets Guidance Notes 2.0 (April 2023) as follows:
| Designation criteria | Data sources |
|---|---|
| The street is one on which, at any time, the street authority estimates traffic flow to be greater than 500 vehicles per hour, per lane of carriageway, excluding bus or cycle lanes | Dft Traffic Data (where hourly rate is used where available. Otherwise, hourly flow is factored from AADT) Lincolnshire Road Safety Partnership (LRSP) Traffic Data |
