Update - Delegated Report - 5 January 2012
Statutory Consultation - 20 October 2011
The Council is consulting on proposals to implement traffic calming measures in Bristol Road, as part of its ongoing commitment to manage traffic speed in residential areas.
During the 2008/09 financial year, a 20mph speed restriction was introduced in Bristol Road, as part of the Middleton Road area 20mph speed limit. The implementation of the 20mph speed limit within the area has been effective, as there has been no recorded personal injury collisions within the area and traffic speeds have reduced. However, a traffic and volume survey carried out in June 2011 showed vehicle speeds in Bristol Road to be high for a residential road compared to other roads within the area.
