Steens Bridge and Docklow – A44, C1059 and U94030. Consideration of a 50 mph, 40 mph and 30 mph Speed Limit Order

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.
