Relief Road Studies
Multi Modal Model
The study has modelled the impact of the planned future growth of Hereford on the transportation networks of the City. The study updates the Hereford Transport Review with new survey data and upgraded it to a Multi-Modal study by including consideration of all forms of transport including public transport, cycling and walking in addition to travel by private car.
The work has been jointly commissioned with the Highways Agency who have a particular interest in the impact on the A49 trunk road through the City.
The study looks at the issues raised from the principal focus of highways impact - other studies will be looking at broader issues as part of the Core Strategy generally.
Hereford Relief Road - Study of Options
This study reviewed possible corridor options to the east and west of the city and assessed them in relation to their environmental, engineering and traffic impacts. The study also includes additional modelling work to assess the role of sustainable transport in helping support growth.
It should be noted that these are study corridors identified for the purposes of plan making process and not the precise routes. The Hereford Area Plan will define the route of any future Hereford Relief Road.

Delivering a Sustainable Transport System (DaSTS)
The regional DaSTS Growth Point Connectivity considered Hereford's role as a designated Growth Point for future development. Its stated aims were to tackle immediate problems and to shape the transport system to meet longer term challenges. The study considered low-cost, specific and innovative sustainable transport interventions to address the transport issues associated with this growth, including smarter choices and initiatives to influence travel behaviour.
