Purpose

West Sussex County Council is
promoting a Local Safety Scheme for the A24/A283 Washington
Roundabout to improve road safety performance at this junction.
There is currently a higher-than-expected number of collisions on
the immediate approach and on the arms of the junction. In
addition, a high proportion of collisions involve motorcyclists.
The scheme involves changes to the speed limit on the approach to
and including the roundabout, the introduction of visibility
screens and partial concentric road markings. The package of
measures will help to reduce the collision risk at this
roundabout.

Decision

The Cabinet Member for Highways and Transport,
having considered the objections to the proposals, authorises the
Executive Director of Law, Assurance and Insight to make the
supporting Traffic Regulation Order as advertised and the Assistant
Director (Highways, Transport and Planning) to implement the speed
limit, visibility screens and partial concentric road markings, as
set out in section 2 of the report.
