The impact of delay to road users is an integral part of National Highways assessment of the potential economic benefits of proposed enhancements to the strategic road network, within a scheme’s business case. The performance of Moor Farm junction has been considered in isolation and in combination with A1 Seaton Burn as part of the A19 North of Newcastle RIS Pipeline scheme.
