Minutes:

The Executive Member considered a report which examined the representations received, in support of and objections to, advertised proposals to amend speed limits. The Director of Transport, Highways and Environment and the Traffic Projects Officer presented the report and a North Yorkshire Police representative was present to answer questions.

 

The Traffic Projects Officer then presented each location that had a revised speed limit. The Executive Member discussed the revised speed limits and approved the Officer recommendations listed in the report for each site, but noted that the A19 Shipton Road, Rawcliffe, Experimental Traffic Regulation Order (ETRO) be approved on the basis that it would commence at the same time as the Active Travel Scheme measures for a crossing. For A1079 Dunnington, it was requested that speed surveys for other lengths of the A1079 were undertaken, to respond to the Parish Council request for 40mph speed limit between Grimston Bar and Kexby. At the Towthorpe site, the Executive Member asked Officers to consult with Parish Councillors to gather further speed data before the start of the ETRO as well as during the period to inform future decisions.

 

Resolved:

     i.        That the revised speed limit as advertised for the following sites be implemented:

·        The Hollies, Stockton on the Forest             20mph

·        Northfield Lane, Poppleton                           30mph
