Junction Information
7.1.1
The B3004/Paper Mill Lane junction isa staggered crossroads priority junction situated to the North East of Bordon on the outskirtsof the town of Alton in Hampshire.
7.1.2
The capacity of the junction hasbeen assessed during weekday AM and PM peakhoursfor the 2026 baseline and 2026 proposed development scenarios, as set out within the Whitehill Bordon Eco-town Evidence Base Transport Assessment. The assessments indicate that the junction would operate at or over full capacity during the AM peakwithin the 2026 baseline and within either proposed development scenariosin 2026. Furthermore, the assessments indicate that the junction would operate near to full capacity within the PM peakperiod if the ‘worst case’ proposed development Scenario 2 were implemented. Table 7.1, below, providesa summary of the critical AM peakforecast year capacity assessments of the junction in itscurrent form:

The above table indicatesthat both the Ashdell Road and B3004 (N) armsof the junction would operate significantly over capacity during the AM peakperiod in 2026 within baseline conditionsand if either proposed development scenarioswere implemented. Furthermore, both the remaining arms, the B3004 (E) and Paper Mill Lane, would operate close to full capacity during the AM peak within all forecast year scenarios.
