Purpose

The purpose of this proposal is to revoke sections of 30 mph restricted roads for which a Traffic Regulation Order is no longer required, to ensure consistent and accurate descriptions for the lengths of road contained herein.

The proposal seeks to enable the future implementation of an alternative speed limit that better reflects the road’s character, usage, and safety requirements. These revocations are taking place to ensure consistency and allow the police to enforce the speed limit effectively.
There will be no changes to the restrictions or their extent on site. Therefore, drivers will not be subject to any changes as a result of this proposal.
