Decision:

Resolved:

 

                      i.         No change be implemented at the following sites (details shown on plans in Annex C):

·        Haxby Road, Foss Park Hospital (Origin CYC/Foss Park Hospital; YSJU - 95 Alive Campaign);

·        Hull Road, Black Bull to Tranby Avenue (Origin local resident);

·        Burdyke Avenue (Origin Ward Councillor and a local resident);

·        B1222 Naburn Church to Moreby Lodge (Origin – Ward Councillor and a local business) but keep under review and discuss with relevant parties the introduction of additional warning signs;

·        B1224 Rufforth North-Western approach (Origin Ward Councillor) but keep under review and discuss with relevant parties the introduction of countdown signs to speed limit change.

 

Reason:     Because the road environment is not consistent with a lower speed limit and there is little prospect of achieving a reduction in vehicle speeds.

 

 

                     ii.         Agreed toAdvertise a revised speed limit for the following sites (details shown on plans in Annex C):

·        Sutton Road, Wigginton Extend 40mph (Origin local residents/business);

·        A59 Upper Poppleton Extend 40mph (Origin Ward Councillor);

·        Montague Road Estate, Bishopthorpe 20mph Zone (Origin local resident);

·        Haxby Road (Clarence Gardens) 20mph (Origin local resident);

·        Wetherby Road Rufforth (Primary School) 20mph (Origin Parish and Ward Councillors) and extend the 20mph zone to include the streets Maythorpe, Laborum, View tree Close, and Middlewood Close;

·        Bradley Lane, Rufforth (Origin – Ward Councillor).

 

 

Reason:    Because the indications are these are appropriate speed limits due to the surrounding environment, to respond to residents’ concerns and to reduce the risk of traffic incidents and injuries.
