Details of Specific Cabinet
Delegation
or Delegation contained in the
relevant Sub-Scheme of Delegation.
 

The scheme was reported to
Cabinet Members on 19th December 2022, (Item 90) and delegated
approval was given to the Strategic Director to enter Local
Neighbourhood & Road Safety Schemes into the Capital Programme,
Transportation Capital Investment Programme, which was approved on
11th May 2023.
 
The sub-scheme of delegation
authorises the Assistant Director to promote, consider objections
to and implement Traffic Regulation Orders under the Road Traffic
Regulation Act 1984 and the Highways (Road Humps) Regulations
1999.
 

Decision:

Approval of the proposal to
install road humps at Racecourse Road, Swinton.
 

Reasons for the
Decision:

To enable the implementation of
traffic calming measures (road humps) at Racecourse Road. To reduce
traffic speeds on the road and assist in the reduction of the
incidence or likelihood of injury & non injury road traffic
collisions taking place.

Details of alternative
options considered and rejected:

Alternative traffic calming
interventions such as priority working and build outs were
considered. However, these are limited in their effectiveness at
reducing traffic speeds at all times of the day, at quieter times
vehicles can ‘race’ to get through the features rather
than give way reducing any safety benefits. Additionally, the
instances of queuing can cause unnecessary vehicle emissions
because of repeated stop/starts.

None
