Decision Maker: Acting Assistant Director for Highways and Transport
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: No
Purpose:
To consider the recommendation to introduce a
speed limit order (SLO) to:
(a) join up two existing 50 mph speed limit sections of the A44 at
Steens Bridge and Docklow that are currently separated by a 470
metre length of National Speed Limit (NSL) – this will be
achieved by reducing the said NSL to 50 mph.
(b) extend the existing western 50 mph speed limit on the A44 at
Steens Bridge by approximately 360 metres in westerly direction to
a point 103 metres to the west of the junction of the C1059 with
the A44.
(c) reduce the speed limit on the C1059 from its current NSL to 40
mph from its junction with the A44 for 390 metres in a north
easterly direction.
(d) re introduce the existing 30 mph speed limit in Humber Close
following the revocation of the existing speed limit orders
mentioned in (e) below.
(e) The new speed limit arrangement will be achieved by revoking
the current 1993 and 2005 speed limit Orders associated with the
two existing 50 mph sections on the A44 and the existing 30 mph
limit in Humber Close and making a new Order which will include the
existing and expanded speed limits.
Appendix A contains drawing 3409-53 that depicts the existing and
proposed speed limit arrangements.
