Petition re traffic calming New Lane
21/10/2009 - Petition concerning Speeding Traffic at the Entrance to West Bank Park from the Junction of New Lane and Hill Street
RESOLVED: That the Executive Member agrees to:
(i) Option One with Officers offering residents a Community Speed Indicator Device (SID) and providing the necessary training to enable residents to monitor traffic speeds in the New Lane and Hill Street area;
(ii) Request Officers to give further consideration to the option of providing a clearer indication, for drivers, of the entrance to West Bank Park, and, as part of this review, to consider whether a 20mph speed limit might be applied to this section of the highway.
REASON: Engineering measures are not considered appropriate however SID will enable speed to continue to be monitored and drivers will be made aware of the speed at which they are travelling. This will help resolve community issues as well as comply with the Speed Review process.
