Urban and Rural Speed Limit Policies
Summary
Speeding was a major concern for residents in Shropshire. This report considered proposes policies for Urban and Rural Speed Limits which would form part of the Council's Speed Management Strategy for Shropshire. The Policies set out the criteria for recommended speed limit changes and the funding available to implement changes.
Consultation on these policies was undertaken with stakeholders, including all parish and town councils. The consultation closed on the 18th December 2009. No changes were recommended to the Rural policy, following the consultation, although some further points of clarification were suggested. The Urban policy would be considered further following the draft guidance recently published by the Department for Transport (DfT).
