Tata Steel (formerly called Corus) has appointed Modal Group Ltd to carry out Stage 1 and 2 Road Safety Audits at three railway level crossings near Morecambe at Bare Lane, Bolten-le-Sands and Hest Bank. Modal Group Ltd was the lead auditor with secondary auditing provided by Brian Campbell Associates Ltd.

The Road Safety Audits concentrated on the proposed changes to the local highway network that Tata Steel was making as part of their planned level crossing improvements. These included auditing changes to the highway approaches and signage. Consideration was given to how the changes may affect car drivers as well as pedestrians using the level crossing.
