The traffic calming comprises of flat top road humps (max height 65mm) across the full width of the carriageway:

At the junction of Shrewsbury Road and Bradford Street: Bradford Street for a length of 16m from its junction with Shrewsbury Road (as measured along its centreline). Shrewsbury Road from a point 8m west of its junction with Bradford Street to its junction with Broadway. Broadway from a point 2m south of its junction with Dunstanville Court to its junction with Shrewsbury Road.

At the junction of Victoria Road, Bradford Street, Aston Street and Market Place: Bradford Street from a point 9m north of its junction with Aston Street to its junction with Victoria Road. Aston Street from its junction with Bradford Street in an easterly direction for 13.5m. Victoria Road from a distance 2m north-west of the property boundary between no. 1 and 3 Victoria Road to its junction with Market Place. Market Place from a point in line with the northernmost edge of the public toilet building to its junction with Victoria Road.
