Speed Limit Traffic Regulation Order Amendments
14/12/2022 - Speed Limit Traffic Regulation Order Amendments
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.
