Title of scheme

A529 Market Drayton to Adderley – changes to the speed limit

Description

Extension of the 30mph speed limit in the village of Adderley

An extension is proposed to the existing 30mph at Adderley in order to improve the visibility to the 30mph village gateway signs. Also, ahead of the first bend past St Peter’s Church to discourage excessive acceleration out of the bend at the Shavington turn and therefore encourage adherence to the existing 30mph limit through the village.

50mph between The A53 Adderley Road Roundabout and St Peter’s Church, Adderley

The A529 between Hinstock and Audlem has been highlighted by the Road Safety Foundation as a section of high concern and therefore attracted funding from the DfT Safer Roads Fund.  The reduction of the speed limit from national speed limit (60mph) on the link between Market Drayton and Adderley is proposed to highlight the nature of the road and to support the safety countermeasures which are possible within the highway boundary in order to improve the safety of this section of the highway network.  Short lengths of the unclassified roads towards Shavington and Spoonley are to be included to provide the safe siting of terminal signs.

40mph A53 (Adderley Road Roundabout)

It is proposed that the existing national speed limit (60mph) is reduced to 40mph to accommodate the proposed superstore access and associated carriageway alterations.

Locations

A529, A53, Adderley Road Roundabout, C2086 to Shavington Farm, C2084 to Spoonley
