Decision details

This 30MPH speed limit proposal shall be implemented by making a Traffic Regulation Order under the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984.

All recommendations set out in its report have been approved and the proposed speed limit changes as advertised can be implemented.

1. Presently a 40 MPH speed limit applies between Stablebridge Road junction with London Road and Wellonhead Bridge.
2. This route section is primarily residential in nature and introducing a 30 MPH speed limit will reduce motor vehicle dominance as well as emphasize that due consideration should be given to the amenity of residents / non-vehicular road users.
3. The measures proposed should reduce traffic speeds which will in turn reduce potential for accidents or severity of any collisions that occur.
4. All Local Unitary Members have been informed of the above proposals.
5. Refer to Appendix A for speed limit consultation plan.
