The purpose of this Traffic and Transport Assessment (TTA) is to evaluate the impact of the
proposed light industrial units on the surrounding road network at Cloghvally Lower,
Carrickmacross and to consider the transportation aspects of the development.
This report has been prepared by McMahon Associates in accordance with Transport Infrastructure
Ireland (TII) Traffic and Transport Assessment Guidelines (TTAG) (May 2014). McMahon
Associates have extensive experience in Traffic and Transport Engineering and in the preparation
of TTAs, as well as being appointed to a special task force to work directly with the Head of the
Road Safety Department of the TII, reviewing the national road network throughout Ireland.
This TTA builds on the TTA that was submitted by Duffy Chartered Engineer Ltd (DCE) in
October 2017 to support the approved planning application for the Cloghvally Lower area (17/585).
The DCE TTA was prepared to support the original construction of the Nexus N2 Business Park
link road and associated services along with the construction of a 1,800m2 light
industrial/warehousing unit (currently Activ8 Energies) and a proposed 120No bed nursing home.
The DCE TTA is included in Section 2 and has been used to set the scope of this TTA.
The DCE TTA assessed the forecast traffic flows from the proposed development and assessed the
impact on the surrounding road network, including the access junction from the Nexus N2 Business
Park on to the Castleblayney Road and the Castleblayney Road Roundabout which is located
approximately 300m north of the access junction. The Castleblayney Road Roundabout is referred
to in the DCE TTA as the Carrickmacross Road Roundabout. RECEIVED: 20/07/2026

This TTA will review the traffic flows from the DCE TTA and forecast the likely trips associated
with the development proposed under this planning application (26/60160), Unit 6(a) and Unit 6(b)
and the adjacent committed development and assess the impact on the surrounding road network.
1.2 EXISTING C ONDITIONS
The site of the Nexus N2 Business Park is located to the north of Carrickmacross Town and is
located between the N2 to the east and the Castleblayney Road to the west.
Figure 1: Site Location
The proposed development site is approximately 0.26ha in size and will be accessed from the
existing Nexus N2 Business Park link road. RECEIVED: 20/07/2026

1.3 P ROPOSED DEVELOPMENT
The proposed development will consist of 2No light industrial units and associated ancillary office
and amenities totalling 800m2 floor area.
1.4 TRIP GENERATION /ATTRACTION
Based on traffic counts indicated in the approved DCE TTA, the AM peak for the road network is
from 8:15 to 9:15 and PM peak was from 16:45 to 17:45 for the PM peak. These times have
therefore formed the baseline traffic as part of this impact assessment.
The trips generated from the proposed development has been estimated using the TRICS database
from the DCE TTA. While the TRICS database can sometimes indicate a different AM peak to that
of the survey data for actual road network, the assessment carried out in this TTA has assessed the
peak from the TRICS database against the observed peak from the survey data (08:15 to 9:15 and
16:45 to 17:45) as a worst-case scenario.
The trip rates for a similar industrial development are indicated in the DCE TTA and are
summarised below for a 1,800m2 Industrial Unit (Activ8 Energies Building) (See Section 3 for
extract from DCE TTA).
Table 1: Trip Generation for 1,800m2 Industrial Unit (Activ8 Energies Building) and 120 bed
nursing home (DCE TTA)

Nursing Home 6.12 10.32 5.16 12.12
Total 14.4 14.9 6.96 22.07
Total (Combined) 29 29
The proposed development relevant to this planning application is 2No industrial units comprising
of a total of 800m2 floor area. Therefore, the traffic flows associated with the proposed
development have been scaled accordingly from the flows for the 1,800m2 industrial unit (Activ8
Energies Building) outlined in the DCE TTA and is shown in Table 2 below.

Unit and Size Arrival Departure Arrival Departure
Units 6(a) and (b) (800m2) 3.7 2.1 0.8 4.4
1.5 TRIP DISTR IBUTION AND ASSIGNMENT
It is anticipated that trips generated by the proposed development during peak traffic periods will be
predominately by staff travelling to and from the site via car.
Given the nature of the development (light industrial), a large number of HGVs travelling to the site
during peak hours is not anticipated. It is considered more likely that there will be LGV trips to the
site (deliveries etc) and will be spread across the day opposed to at peak times.
The trips associated with the proposed development will solely access and egress the site via the
existing Nexus N2 Business Park link road.
Given the difficulty in predicting where the trips generated by the development are going and
returning to, the split of trips to/from the development has been estimated based on the observed
flow of existing traffic. The DCE TTA shows the in the AM peak, the majority of traffic to and
from the site come from the Carrickmacross direction (65%), with the remaining coming from the
direction of the Castleblayney Roundabout. In the PM peak, the split of traffic if more or less 50:50
(See Section 3 for extract from DCE TTA).
1.6 COMMITTED DEVELOPMENT
There has been a number of approved planning applications for the Nexus N2 business park in
recent years and is considered committed development and has been analysed as part of this TTA.
The breakdown of approved and constructed development in the business park is shown below.
The forecast flows for the committed development have been calculated by scaling the forecast
flows for the 1,800m2 industrial unit (Activ8 Energies Building) in the DCE TTA accordingly to
suit the floor area of each of the committed units.

1.7 ROAD IMPACT – EXISTING SCENARIO
As outlined above, the DCE TTA reviewed the impact of the Activ8 Energies building and the
120No bed nursing home on the access junction with the Castleblayney Road and the Castleblayney
Road Roundabout.
The results of this assessment from the DCE TTA for the Access/Castleblayney Road Junction for
traffic growthed to 2034 is summarised below, with the maximum ratio of Flow to Capacity (RFC)
shown to be very low (See Section 3 for extract from DCE TTA). Typically, an RFC value of 0.85
or above is considered to show a junction operating at and beyond its capacity. As demonstrated in RECEIVED: 20/07/2026

Peter McMahon & Associates Ltd t / a McMahon Associates
Director: Peter McMahon BEng MEngSc CEng FIEI MICE Armagh Office: 26 Upper English St., Armagh NI-48792
Table 4, the junction is operating significantly below capacity at approximately 6% of the overall
capacity (0.05/0.85).

Similarly, from the DCE TTA for the Castleblayney Road Roundabout for traffic growthed to 2034,
the maximum RFC is shown to be very low (See Section 3 for extract from DCE TTA). As
demonstrated in Table 5, the roundabout is operating significantly below capacity at approximately
21% of the overall capacity (0.18/0.85).

1.8 ROAD IMPACT – PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT
For the proposed development, the forecast flows are considered extremely low (Table 2) with the
AM Peak adding 6No trips and the PM Peak adding 6No trip to the network. Given the large
amount of spare capacity at the Access/Castleblayney Road Junction, it is considered that the
proposed development will have a negligible impact on the capacity of the junction.
Similarly, for the Castleblayney Road Roundabout, the DCE TTA shows the junction to be
operating well below capacity (Table 5). Given the low flows from the proposed development and
that at least half of the forecast flows are likely to travel towards Carrickmacross from the site and
not use the Roundabout (See Section 1.5) it is considered that the proposed development will have
a negligible impact on the Castleblayney Road Roundabout. RECEIVED: 20/07/2026

1.9 ROAD IMPACT – COMMITTED DEVELOPMENT
While the committed development flows outlined in Section 1.6 (Table 3) are greater than the
proposed development flows, the abundance of spare capacity in both the access junction and the
Castleblayney Road Roundabout will mean the committed development will have minimal impact
on the capacity of the road network. It is worth reiterating that while the committed development
will introduce 69 trips to the AM peak and 63 trips to the PM peak, it is expected that only 50% of
these trips will be using the Castleblayney Road Roundabout.
To demonstrate the minimal impact additional trips has on the capacity of the Castleblayney Road
Roundabout, see below Table 6 which summarises the findings of the DCE TTA and shows the
impact of the flows from the Activ8 Energies site and the proposed 120No bed nursing home (i.e.
the flows from Table 1).

0.01 0.00 0.01 0.00
While the committed development has approximately 2 times the flows than those trips forecast in
the DCE TTA for the Activ8 Energies building and the 120No bed Nursing Home site, it can be
seen from Table 6 that the capacity of Castleblayney Road Roundabout is not sensitive to the low
flows associated with Nexus N2 Business Park and realistically, the forecast trips would need to be
an order of magnitude greater to have any significant impact on the RFC of the roundabout.
Given the roundabout has a large Inscribed Circle Diameter (ICD) of approximately 58m and the
roundabout serves as an important connection to the TII strategic road network (N2) and is RECEIVED: 20/07/2026

Peter McMahon & Associates Ltd t / a McMahon Associates
Director: Peter McMahon BEng MEngSc CEng FIEI MICE Armagh Office: 26 Upper English St., Armagh NI-48792
therefore designed to accommodate large flows, it is as expected that the capacity of the roundabout
is not sensitive to the low flows from the committed development of the Nexus N2 Business Park.
It should also be noted that the developments outlined in Table 3 have been approved planning
permission without a request for a TTA, which suggests that the surrounding road network is not
experiencing capacity issues. This is in keeping with the modelling undertaken in the DCE TTA
which shows the road network to be operating well below capacity.
1.10 ROAD IMPACT – CUMULATIVE IMPACT
The development proposed as part of this planning application will generate 6No trips in the AM
and PM peaks. The percentage increase in trips on the network from the proposed development
compared to the already committed and built development (Table 3) and the trips associated with
the Activ8 Energies building and the proposed 120No bed Nursing Home (Table 2) is shown in
Table 7.

Development
Committed Development
plus Activ8 Energies &
Nursing Home
% Increase
AM Combined 6 98 (69+29) 6.1%
PM Combined 6 92 (63+29) 6.5%
As demonstrated, the proposed development is well below the 10% threshold set out in the TII
Traffic and Transport Assessment Guidelines which necessitates a TTA.
1.11 CONSTRUCTION TRAFFIC
The traffic associated with the construction of the proposed development is considered unlikely to
have a significant impact on the capacity of the surrounding road network. For the most part,
construction staff travelling to and from the site will happen predominately outside of the AM and
PM peak hours. Similarly, the supply of materials to the site is likely to happen throughout the day
rather than specifically at peak times. For those deliveries that do occur during peak times, they will
only add a minor number of additional trips temporarily (during the construction period) to the
network, the impact of which will be negligible on the overall operation of the road network given
the existing capacity in the surrounding junctions as outlined in this report. RECEIVED: 20/07/2026

Director: Peter McMahon BEng MEngSc CEng FIEI MICE Armagh Office: 26 Upper English St., Armagh NI-48792
1.12 ROAD S AFETY
The proposed development will be accessed from the existing junction on the Nexus N2 Business
Park link road which, as an existing junction, has visibility splays appropriate for the design speed
of the mainline. For the access from the proposed development onto the Business Park link road
35m visibility splays will be provided in both direction and is appropriate for the design speed of
the link road.
Street lighting will be provided to ensure the area is adequately lit.
Dropped kerbs and tactile paving will be provided at the site entrance to guide pedestrians across
the proposed development access and footpaths within the development will link to the existing
pedestrian facilities along the link road.
A Road Safety Audit has also been completed as part of the scheme and the recommendation from
the audit implemented into the design.
1.13 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
The proposed development will be located in an existing business park and will integrate into the
surroundings.
As demonstrated by this TTA, there are no changes required to existing transport infrastructure to
accommodate the development and therefore it is considered that the development will have a
minimal impact on the environment from a traffic perspective.
1.14 INTERNAL L AYOUT
The internal layout has been designed to promote the safe movement of pedestrians within the
development with dropped kerbs and tactile paving provided at crossing points.
1.15 P ARKING
The parking requirements for the proposed development are set out in the Monaghan County
Development Plan. Based on the proposed industrial use, the parking requirement is a maximum if
1No space per 50m2. Therefore, based on 800m2 floor area, a total of 16No spaces has been
provided. The development plan requires a rate of one space in twenty-five to be for persons with RECEIVED: 20/07/2026

impaired mobility. Therefore, 1No accessible space will be provided. Of the 16 spaces provided,
3No spaces will be provided for EV Charging.
1.16 P UBLIC TRANSPORT
Carrickmacross is served by a regular local link services from Shercock (Service 171) and regional
services 182 (Drogheda to Monaghan) and 32 (Letterkenny to Dublin). Private bus services also
provide bus travel to Dublin which serve Carrickmacross (180 and 980). Bus timetable information
is provided in Section 4. and
The main bus stop in Carrickmacross for each service is on Main Street which is within walking
distance (approx. 20 minutes) of the proposed development.
1.17 P EDESTRIAN / C YCLISTS
The proposed development will be served by the existing footways and therefore will have strong
pedestrian and cycle links and promote the use of sustainable travel.
As outlined previously, dropped kerbs and tactile paving will be provided within the development
to facilitate the safe movement of pedestrians.
1.18 ACCESSIBILITY AND INTEGRATION
As the proposed development is situated on an existing business park, it is considered that the
proposed development is appropriate for the area and therefore will integrate with the similar
surrounding developments.
The proposed development will be easily accessible from the N2 via the Castleblayney Road
through singular car travel or car share, with opportunities for walking or cycling via the existing
footways in the business park and on the Castleblayney Road.
1.19 ACCESS FOR P EOPLE WITH DISABILITIES
The proposed development will provide designated disabled parking within the site. All external
gradients leading to the proposed units will comply with the Building Regulations to allow safe and
convenient access to the buildings.

1.20 CONCLUSIONS AND MITIGATION
An approved TTA was submitted for the initial development at the Nexus N2 Business Park and
demonstrated that the Castleblayney Road and new access junction had significant spare capacity
and that the adjacent Castleblayney Road Roundabout also had significant spare capacity.
The trips generated by the proposed development are very low. Therefore, given the spare capacity
in the surrounding road network, the proposed development will have a negligible impact on the
surrounding road network.
As outlined above, a number of developments have been constructed and granted planning approval
since the original DCE TTA was complete. The trip generated by this committed development has
been assessed and the number of trips shown to be relatively low. Given the significant spare
capacity in the road network, it is considered that the committed development will not cause either
the Castleblayney Road Roundabout or the Castleblayney Road/Access Junction to exceed the
junction capacity.
Therefore, as part of the proposed development, no mitigation measures are necessary to the
surrounding road network to accommodate the traffic generated by the development. RECEIVED: 20/07/2026

Section 1-Narrative
1.1 Introduction
The purpose of this traffic and transport assessment is to evaluate the impact of a proposed 120
bed nursing home and Industrial buildings on the local road network at Cloughvalley Lower,
Carrickmacross,Co.Monaghan and also to consider transportation aspects of the proposed
development.
Traffic flow related impacts arising from increased traffic on any road occur mainly in the following
forms:
interference and delay to other vehicles,
interference and delay to pedestrians,
alteration in the level of risk to other road users,
the impacts that arise mainly for non-users in the form of noise and emissions.
In order to assess the traffic impacts of the proposed development on the surrounding road
network,a Scoping Study Document was submitted to Monaghan County Council,in regard to the
scoping of the TTA;the following scoping was agreed:
Carry out a traffic survey at the Carrickmacross Roundabout.Vehicles were classified
recording all turning movements (See Section 2).
Carry out an assessment of the impact of the generated traffic on the following junctions:
Development Access
Carrickmacross Roundabout
Any modification will be determined as a result of analysis.
The assessment years were agreed as 2019 and 2034.NRA Growth Factors to be used as
per NRA Unit 5.5 Link -Based Traffic Growth Forecasting January 2011.
1.2 Existing Conditions
1.2.1 Introduction
The proposed site is located to the north of Carrickmacross,County Monaghan,approximately
2km from the town centre.Carrickmacross is the main town in the south of County Monaghan

The Carrickmacross Road Roundabout is situated to the north of the proposed site and facilitates
access to the N2 Carrickmacross Bypass.The roundabout has an existing inscribed circle diameter
ICD)of 42m and is fed by four arms.In a clockwise manner,the four arms include the
Castleblayney Road,the Ballybay Road and the northbound (to Derry)and southbound (to Dublin)
N2 links,both of which facilitate access to the bypass.A footpath is provided between the
Castleblayney Road and the Ballybay Road.Given the absence of footway provision elsewhere
around the junction,no pedestrian crossing facilities are provided at the roundabout.
The N2 Carrickmacross Bypass was opened in early 2005.The scheme involved the construction of
an 8.5km single carriageway road in order to improve the existing road alignment and obviously to
provide a bypass of Carrickmacross.
1.2.6 Future Road Infrastructure Development
There are no road infrastructure schemes planned in the immediate locality that would have an
impact on the proposed development.
1.3 Traffic Surveys
1.3.1 Introduction
Manual classified counts were conducted at the Castleblayney Road Roundabout in the vicinity of
the proposed site in order to analyse the existing situation.These counts were performed on the
15th December 2016 and all values from these counts have been extrapolated to 2019 and 2034
volumes using the NRA Unit 5.5 Link -Based Traffic Growth Forecasting January 2011.Details in
the following sections outline the procedures used and outcomes of the counts.Full details of the
counts is provided in Section 2 and NRA Unit 5.5 Link -Based Traffic Growth Forecasting January
2011 details are illustrated in Section 3.
1.3.2 Junction Turning Counts
Counts were undertaken at the Carrickmacross Roundabout on Thursday 15th December 2016 to
establish baseline conditions.The site was surveyed using telescopically mounted video camera
from which the information was subsequently extracted.The data was collected in 15 minute
intervals with full turning counts undertaken at the junction.The purpose of the junction turning
counts was to fully assess the existing traffic conditions on the surrounding network.
Analysis of the survey data revealed that the AM peak-hour is between 08:15 and 09:15 whilst the
PM peak-hour is between 16:45 and 17:45.Details of the manual classified counts are included in
Section 2 .

In addition to the throughput at the roundabout we were also able to extrapolate peak hour two-
way flows on the Castleblayney Road immediately outside the proposed development access
point.During the AM peak-hour period a two-way flow of 761 vehicles was observed on the
Castleblayney Road with approximately two thirds of this traffic travelling southbound towards
Carrickmacross.In relation to the PM peak-hour period a two-way flow of 610 vehicles was
observed on the Castleblayney Road with just over one half of this traffic travelling northbound
towards the roundabout.
1.4 Proposed Development
The proposed development consists of a 120 bed nursing homes and Industrial units with a
combined area of 1800m2,as well as vehicular access into the site off the Castleblayney Road and
all associate site development works.
1.4.1 Vehicular Access/Egress
Vehicular access/egress is to be achieved via the Castleblayney Road and onto the regional road
network by means of a new priority junction at the Regional Road.The design of the new access is
to conform to current legislation.The site access is within the 60 kph speed limit.The access
consists of a priority junction with 1 dedicated exit lane and a dedicated right turn lane on the
Castleblayney Road.The internal road layout has been designed in keeping with the Design
Manual for Urban Roads and Streets (DMURS).
1.4.2 Internal Layout And Parking Layout
The internal road layout and parking layout of the proposed development has been designed in
accordance with the requirements laid out in the DOE's/DTO's/DOT's 'Traffic Management
Guidelines'and DMURS.
1.4.3 Pedestrians &Cyclists
To the north and south of the proposed site access,a combined footpath/cycle path exists,this
combined footpath/cycle path is to be incorporate/catered for by the new access.
It is proposed that a pedestrian/Cyclist crossing point with associated dropped kerbs and tactile
paving will be introduced across the proposed access road on the desire line.It is also proposed
that the pedestrian crossing opportunity at the adjacent gateway feature will be formalised with
the introduction of dropped kerbs and tactile paving.It is considered that the formalisation of this
pedestrian crossing point will satisfy pedestrian desire lines to/from the proposed site.
The footpath is to be extended on west side of road to link the existing pedestrian footpath with
the proposed crossing point.

l.S Site Access Arrangements
As previously stated,it is proposed that vehicular access to the proposed development will be
achieved via the Castleblayney Road and onto the regional road network by means of a new
priority junction at the Regional Road.Detailed junction design of the proposed access
arrangements was completed with careful consideration for the following:
Provision of right turn pocket along the Castleblayney Road
Proposed visibility splays at the site access
Provision of Right Turn Pocket into residential development to west of the development
1.5.1 Provision of a Right Turn Pocket along the Castleblayney Road
Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII)DN-GEO-03060 sets out design principles of priority junctions.
In section 4.2.1.1 of this document it states that "for junctions with a lightly trafficked minor road
the provision of a simple priority junction is the most appropriate junction type where the
projected flows (2-way Annual Average Daily Traffic -AADT)are less than those presented in Table
4.1 for both the major road and the minor road.Where traffic flows fall within the ranges outlined
in Table 4.1,the provision of a ghost island junction is the most appropriate junction type.The
final junction type will be subject to traffic analysis by the designer to assess the capacity based on
the projected turning movements at the junction."Table 1 is shown below.
It is anticipated that the proposed development will not attract in excess of 600 vehicle trips per
day.
Major road AADT Minor road AADT
5,000 >600 <:5,000
5,000 -10,000 >450 <:3,000
10,000 >300 <:1,500
Table 1 -Flow Ranges -Ghost Island Junctions
Whilst initial computer modelling of the proposed junction with the Castleblayney Road suggested
that the site access would operate satisfactorily without the provision of a right turn pocket,it was
decided to install a right turn pocket at this location in order to alleviate any potential impediment
to traffic progression to the Carrickmacross Road Roundabout.

1.6 Trip Attraction
To assess the impact of the proposed development,it is necessary to predict the likely number of
vehicles that will be attracted by the proposal.
The traffic attraction of the proposed development has been estimated using information sourced
from the TRICS database.The following parameters were applied to the survey data within the
TRICSdatabase to ensure that the information extracted would be representative of the proposed
development:
Trip rate per Nursing Home,selected range 120 units.
Trip rate per Industrial Unit selected range 1800m2•
Selected Locations -'suburban','edge of town'and 'free standing'
Sites in the Republic of Ireland,Northern Ireland and the UK were included
Whilst it is standard practice to conservatively take the upper bound predictions (i.e.85th
percentile trip rates)when a number of sites are relevant to the search within the database,in this
instance only 1 no.site was considered relevant.All details associated with this site are provided
in Section 4.
The lands to the east of the proposed development lands are to be included as part of the analysis.
In order to provide for a robust analysis of the junctions it has been assumed that a development
with a high volume of traffic associated with it may be constructed on this site in the future.
Table 2.0 below indicates the predicted peak-hour trip attraction rates for the proposed
development sourced from the TRies database.

1.7 Trip Distribution &Assignment of Development Traffic
The key operators of the development will usually define any trends relating to distribution.Trip
distribution from a new development is always subjective.Predictions of traffic behaviour are
based on existing traffic patterns,local knowledge and population information.
In this instance,trip distribution to and from the proposed development has been calculated
utilising the existing distribution patterns extracted from the traffic surveys conducted in
December 2016.The trips associated with the proposed development are summarised in Table
2.0.

1.9 Highway Impact
Arcady 9 and Picady 9 were used to analyse the impact of adding development traffic plus
potential development on lands to the east to the junctions in question.The following junctions
and scenarios were modelled and analysed as part of the traffic assessment:
Carrickmacross Road Roundabout (Arcady 9)
AM and PM Peak
existing traffic projected to 2019;
existing traffic projected to 2034;
existing traffic projected to 2019 +development;
existing traffic projected to 2034 +development.
Castleblayney Road/Development Access Priority T Junction (Picady 9)
AM and PM Peak
existing traffic projected to 2019 +development;
existing traffic projected to 2034 +development.
The results of these simulations are reproduced in Section 6.
The RFCvalue is an indicator of the likely performance of a junction under design year loading and
TII DN-GEO-03060 offers the following guidance in regard to RFCvalues:
RFC>1.0 predicted flow is in excess of the junction's capacity.
RFC=0.85 queuing should not occur in 5 out of 6 peak hour periods
RFC=0.75 queuing will be avoided in 39 out of 40 peak hour periods and turning
queues and delays in the minor roads should be virtually avoided
Design standards indicate that the maximum RFCvalue achieved for new junctions should be 0.85
in urban areas and 0.75 in rural areas.The Arcady and Picady 9 computer programmes utilise
these formulae in order to determine RFCvalues for a range of scenarios and to analyse traffic
flows through a junction .

When the Ratio of Flow to Capacity (RFC)exceeds 0.85,congestion may be a problem,hence
queuing will become a problem and delays are likely to occur.
It is evident from Table 7 above that the Carrickmacross Road Roundabout can easily facilitate the
projected traffic flows at opening year 2019 and at future year 2034 in both the AM and PM peak-
hour periods.

1.9.4 Link Capacities
TII DN-GEO-03060 provides a guide to the desirable standard of carriageway provision given the
features of the road and expected traffic levels and can be used to estimate the capacity of a
section of carriageway,commonly termed 'link',on the road network.The estimated link capacity
is defined as the maximum sustainable flow of traffic passing in a 1 hour period,under favourable
road and traffic conditions.
The estimated capacities apply to carriageway links and take no account of the effects of
junctions.The capacity of carriageway links can be affected by a wide range of factors that may
not always be accurately predicted by the road features identified.For this reason capacity flows
may be up to 10%more or less than the estimated values.
The weekday AM and PM peak-hour two-way traffic flows for design year 2034 are illustrated in
the traffic flow diagrams appended to the Report in Section 5.These predicted 2034 two-way
traffic flows have been compared to the predicted maximum capacity for the Castleblayney Road
to ascertain how congested the link may be at design year 2034 and to predict an RFCvalue.
The Castleblayney Road has been assessed as Road Type UAP2,(good standard single carriageway
with frontage access,access to residential properties,restricted parking and at grade pedestrian
crossings).
The ratio of flow to capacity (RFC)values for the Castleblayney Road at design year 2034 (which
includes proposed development traffic)for both the weekday AM and PM peak-hour periods are
illustrated in Table 9 below.
Scenario RFCat Design Year 2034
AM Peak-Hour (08:15-09:15)0.03
PM Peak-Hour (16:45-17:45)0.05
Table 9 -Link Capacity at Design Year 2034
It is evident from Table 9 that the adjacent link has more than sufficient capacity to cater for the
projected flows at design year 2034.
1.9.5 Highway Impact Conclusion
Computer modelling has indicated that the proposed site access and the adjacent Carrickmacross
Road Roundabout can easily facilitate the projected traffic flows throughout the assessment years
in both the AM and PM peak-hour periods.
Link capacity analysis has illustrated that the adjacent Castleblayney Road has sufficient reserve
capacity to cater for the projected traffic flows at design year 2034.It can therefore be concluded
that the adjacent highway network,with the introduction of the proposed site access,will be able
to facilitate the additional traffic flows as a result of the proposed development .

1.10 Environmentallmpact
The proposed development has been considered in terms of the 'Guidelines for the Environmental
Assessment of Road Traffic'published by the Institute of Environmental Assessment (lEA).
The key factors upon which environmental impact of traffic is dependent are:
Volume of traffic;
Traffic speeds and operational characteristics;and
Traffic composition.
In the case of the proposed development,it is estimated that the volume of traffic will increase on
some adjacent highway links.The lEA Guidelines provide two 'rules of thumb'as a screening
process to delimit the scale and extent of the assessment.The rules are as follows:
Rule 1 -include highway links where traffic flows will increase by more than 30%(or the number
of heavy goods vehicles will increase by 30%).
Rule 2 -include any other specifically sensitive area where traffic flows have increase by 10%or
more.
The assessment has illustrated that the proposed development will not lead to traffic volumes
increasing by 30%or more on any of the links around the adjacent highway network.It is
therefore considered that an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)is not warranted in this
instance on traffic grounds alone.
1.11 Road Safety
Traffic collision statistics have been acquired from the Road Safety Authority for the local road
network between 2003 and 2017.The information provided is summarised in Table 10 below.
Accident Number Scene Accident Type Date
200304900 Cloughvale Minor 27/10/03
200500154 Carrickmacross Fatal 28/08/05
200503908 Carrickmacross Minor 18/03/05
20075356 Monanney Minor 22/11/07
Table 10 -Road Traffic Collision Data (2003 -2017)
It is evident from Table 10 above that a road traffic accident involving a fatality occurred on the
Castleblayney Road in the vicinity of the proposed site.Further inspection of the information
made available by the Road Safety Authority indicates that the accident involved 1 no.car and 3
no.pedestrians with one of the pedestrians suffering a fatality.The information provided suggests
that subsequent investigation by An Garda Siochana concluded that road factors were not at fault
for the road traffic accident and subsequent fatality.

It is considered that due to the relatively low number and largely minor nature of the accidents
recorded with the unfortunate exception of the pedestrian fatality,the adjacent road network can
safely accommodate the additional traffic volumes associated with the proposed development
without an increased risk of road traffic collisions.
The proposed site access at the Castleblayney Road will be designed in accordance with the TII
DN-GEO-03060 and as such will be compliant with relevant safety standards.Furthermore it is
proposed that the pedestrian crossing opportunity at the adjacent gateway feature will be
formalised with the introduction of dropped kerbs and tactile paving.It is considered that the
formalisation of this pedestrian crossing point will satisfy pedestrian desire lines to/from the
proposed site.
A Stage 1 Road Safety Audit will be prepared in connection with the proposed scheme.
1.12 Construction Traffic
The client is aware that Monaghan County Council considers that traffic management and road
safety considerations are of the utmost importance when considering site construction traffic and
will ensure that the construction phase is completed as quickly and safely as possible.
All possible steps will be taken to ensure any interference with normal traffic movements will be
minimised.Deliveries will be staggered throughout the day and will not coincide with either the
weekday AM or PM peak-hour periods on the adjoining highway network.
Site traffic will use flashing beacons to alert road users of their approach and the need for
increased caution.Furthermore signage will be employed to keep all road users fully informed
during the construction process.
1.13 Internal Layout
Vehicular access/egress is to be achieved via the Castleblayney Road and onto the regional road
network by means of a new priority junction at the Regional Road.
The internal road layout and parking layout of the proposed development has been designed in
accordance with the requirements laid out in the DOE's/DTO's/DOT's 'Traffic Management
Guidelines'and DMURS.

1.14 Conclusions
This report has considered the effects of the additional traffic that will be attracted as a result of
the proposed development ..
In conclusion it is our opinion,based on the methodology outlined in the report above that;
The Castleblayney Road has adequate capacity (Max RFCof 0.18)to deal with the proposed
development,potential development on lands to the east plus and other committed
development.
The proposed junction arrangements with the Castleblayney road are adequate (Max RFC
of 0.05)to provide safe access to and from the proposed development,and potential
development on lands to the east.
The access arrangements will not prove prejudicial to a high level of traffic generation from
any potential development of the zoned lands to the east.
The traffic attracted as a result of the proposed development will not have a significant
impact on the adjoining highway network.
Yours faithfully,
n.'(\-~~-.-r:F"----",''

1.6 Trip Attraction
To assess the impact of the proposed development,it is necessary to predict the likely number of
vehicles that will be attracted by the proposal.
The traffic attraction of the proposed development has been estimated using information sourced
from the TRICS database.The following parameters were applied to the survey data within the
TRICSdatabase to ensure that the information extracted would be representative of the proposed
development:
Trip rate per Nursing Home,selected range 120 units.
Trip rate per Industrial Unit selected range 1800m2•
Selected Locations -'suburban','edge of town'and 'free standing'
Sites in the Republic of Ireland,Northern Ireland and the UK were included
Whilst it is standard practice to conservatively take the upper bound predictions (i.e.85th
percentile trip rates)when a number of sites are relevant to the search within the database,in this
instance only 1 no.site was considered relevant.All details associated with this site are provided
in Section 4.
The lands to the east of the proposed development lands are to be included as part of the analysis.
In order to provide for a robust analysis of the junctions it has been assumed that a development
with a high volume of traffic associated with it may be constructed on this site in the future.
Table 2.0 below indicates the predicted peak-hour trip attraction rates for the proposed
development sourced from the TRies database.

1.7 Trip Distribution &Assignment of Development Traffic
The key operators of the development will usually define any trends relating to distribution.Trip
distribution from a new development is always subjective.Predictions of traffic behaviour are
based on existing traffic patterns,local knowledge and population information.
In this instance,trip distribution to and from the proposed development has been calculated
utilising the existing distribution patterns extracted from the traffic surveys conducted in
December 2016.The trips associated with the proposed development are summarised in Table
2.0.

1.9.2 Castleblayney Road/Development Access Priority T Junction
Vehicular access/egress is to be achieved via the Castleblayney Road and onto the regional road
network by means of a new priority junction at the Regional Road.This junction was modelled
using the National Roads Authority approved software package PICADY9.
The PICADY9 assessment results of the models have been summarised and presented in Table 8
below.These are expressed in terms of the maximum ratio of flow to capacity (Max RFC)and the
maximum mean queues (MMQ)in vehicles for the various traffic streams.In order to help the
reader better understand the PICADYresults table we have identified the major arms on each of
the models so that the turning movement results can be better understood.In this instance the
arms A,Band C have been identified as:
ARM A -To Castleblayney
ARM B -Site Access
ARM C -To Carrickmacross

It is evident from Table 8 above that the proposed site access can easily facilitate the projected
traffic flows throughout the assessment years in both the AM and PM peak-hour periods .

Table 7 -Arcady Analysis of the Carrickmacross Road Roundabout
When the Ratio of Flow to Capacity (RFC)exceeds 0.85,congestion may be a problem,hence
queuing will become a problem and delays are likely to occur.
It is evident from Table 7 above that the Carrickmacross Road Roundabout can easily facilitate the
projected traffic flows at opening year 2019 and at future year 2034 in both the AM and PM peak-
hour periods.
