Rotherhithe Multi-Modal Study
25 November 2008
In early 2006 the council recognised that the level of development in the Rotherhithe peninsular was going to have a significant impact on transport in the area and beyond and that we needed to understand this impact in more detail. As a result of this we commissioned a study of the area, to look at all modes of transport, as shown in the following figure.
The resulting model that emerged from the study provides the council with a tool to look at how further development will impact on the area,. It also allows us to input specific information into the model and see the impacts. For example, we could put another ten buses on a particular route and see if this would help to relieve traffic congestion. The study can also tell us whether if we propose alterations to the highway network, such as banning or opening a turn movement, this will generate rat running and if so to what extent.
