Decision
Maker:
(Including Job
Title)
 

Simon Moss
Assistant Director, Planning,
Regeneration and Transport 

Specific
Delegation:
(If
any)
 

Strategic Director of Regeneration and Environment
Sub-Scheme of Delegation - To promote, consider objections to and
implement Traffic Regulation Orders under the Road Traffic
Regulation Act 1984.

Brief Description
of Decision:
 
 

Notwithstanding objections received to statutory advertisement
of Traffic Regulation and Speed Limit Orders associated with the
Sheffield Road Cycleways, and Rotherham to Maltby Bus Corridor
scheme, the advertised Orders are made in whole noting the
clarification in paragraph 1.8 of the report.
 

Reasons for the
Decision:
 
 

Whilst two objections were
received, amending proposals in response to these was not found to
be practicable or beneficial (refer to alternative options
considered).

Details of
alternative options considered and rejected:
 

Prohibiting cyclists from the bus lane was considered, and ruled out on the grounds of lack of
benefit as well as requiring central Government approvals unlikely
to be granted.
 
Retaining the speed limit on the A.631 through Hellaby at 40mph was considered on grounds it may
better address concerns regarding air quality and degree to which
the speed limit is self- enforcing. This was rejected on the basis of wider benefits of the proposal, and
on the basis that objectors indicated support in principle even if
expectations of the impact of the speed limit proposal were
misunderstood.
