Decision details
20mph Speed Limits - Area 13, Lyncombe/ Widcombe 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 Lyncombe/ Widcombe (Area 13) following statutory consultation
Decision:
The Cabinet Member agrees that the speed limit order is approved as advertised.
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.
A petition to include the A367 Wells Road, within the 20mph speed limit, was considered, but felt that it should not be imposed for the reasons set out within the Single Member Decision report.
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.
