20mph Speed Limit Policy Approach
21/05/2012 - 20mph Speed Limit Policy Approach.
RESOLVED: That a policy approach to delivering 20 mph speed limits across the city be agreed.
Reason: To provide a consistent and transparent approach to implementation.
RESOLVED: That the provisional programme for roll out and therefore the response to the petitions in relation to implementation be agreed.
Reason: So that residents can be made aware of the order of delivery and enable the petitions to be considered as part of a wider area rather than new or extensions to an existing scheme.
RESOLVED: That larger villages be included in the roll out but that implementation in the smaller villages be delayed until further in the year.
Reason: To enable evidence to determine whether a signed only limit or another traffic management approach is most appropriate in the small villages.
RESOLVED: That the progress on the South Bank scheme be noted and that the trial in Murton Village be put on hold until additional funding can be identified.
Reason: To enable the programme to trial affordable additional speed reduction measures that would be replicable across the city and that also work to reduce average speeds close to 20mph.
