Decision details
20mph Speed Limits - Area 14, Bathwick TRO
Decision Maker: Cllr Caroline Roberts, Cllr Paul Crossley
Decision status: Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: Yes
Purpose:
Determination of TRO's to provide 20mph speed limits within Bathwick (Area 14) following Statutory Consultation
Decision:
The Cabinet member agrees that the speed limit order is approved, with the following amendments to the advertised scheme:-
- Widcombe Hill is extended from its junction with Terrace Walk to its junction with Tyning End.
Reasons for the decision:
A 20mph speed limit is recommended as other authorities which have introduced 20mph speed limits have evidence to show that it has beneficial effects. They include benefits to the environment, and it can encourage more walking and cycling.
Alternative options considered:
The option of implementing 20mph Speed Limit Zones using traffic calming measures was considered. A scheme based on this option would be impractical and unsuitable because of the close proximity of buildings and the cost.
