Local Area Traffic Management (LATM) is a constantly evolving and widely applied practice used extensively by those responsible for planning, designing and managing our local road networks. The purpose of local area traffic management is to:
- Reduce traffic volumes and speeds in local streets
- Increase amenity and sense of place
- Improve safety and access for residents and visitors
- Provide an active local street environment to walk, cycle, play, relax and interact.
This Level5Design intensive two-day masterclass will provide you with the knowledge of current best practice and in-depth strategies to achieve better outcomes in your local communities. You will be brought up to speed with the latest revisions to national guidelines, understand better what works and what doesn’t, and know what is needed to design an effective scheme.
Who Should Attend?
This masterclass is for practitioners who are keen to be kept abreast of current best practice in traffic calming and LATM design, to understand the background material underpinning the latest national guidelines, and to obtain hands on experience solving actual problems drawing upon relevant case studies.
- INTRODUCTION TO THE PRINCIPLES OF LATM - What are the fundamental underlying place and movement principles and how should they be applied in a local community context.
- THE LATM PROCESS IN DETAIL - How do you best prepare for a study, defining the scope and objectives, developing plans, engaging the community, designing and implementing schemes, and monitoring and reviewing outcomes.
- ISSUES AND RESOURCES IN LATM - Planning frameworks, applying warrants in a policy context, safety assessments and use of road safety audits, community consultation and other tools.
- SELECTION AND DESIGN OF LATM TREATMENTS - The placement and nature of devices, general design rules and considerations, safe system principles, and other relevant matters.
- RECENT EXPERIENCES, SUCCESSES AND FAILURES - Lessons on the advantages and disadvantages, and applications of different combinations of devices.
- TECHNOLOGY AND INNOVATION - Recent innovations in practice from around the world including a range of new emerging technologies.
- SPEED BASED DESIGN PRINCIPLES - Device crossing and operating speeds and spacing, interpreting speed differential, estimating speed profiles, and treatments for given speed environments.
- CATERING FOR ALL ROAD USERS - Planning and designing for all road users including public transport, trucks, cyclists, pedestrians, etc.
- CASE STUDY EXERCISE - Working through a real life case study to come up with a scheme solution.
A Masterclass differs from other training in that it assumes that delegates have some pre-existing general knowledge and are already working (or have worked) within the industry. It provides access to leading experts in their fields and presents opportunity for greater interaction and learning at a much higher level. It is about elevating the level of knowledge of people within the industry, so that attendees are well informed and can make better decisions.
