Public Consultation on proposed Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) to introduce a 30mph Speed Limit on C55 New Road, C55 Stourton Lane and UC743501 Tower Road, Kilmington and Stourton with Gasper as indicated on the plan attached Indicative Plan
Kilmington Parish Council have requested through the Council’s Local Highways and Footways Improvement Group (LHFIG) process, that the 40mph speed limit currently in place on the C55 New Road be reduced to a 30mph in the interest of road safety for all users of the road.
An independent speed limit assessment arranged through the South West Wiltshire LHFIG considered the introduction a 30mph speed limit to be appropriate for a length of the C55 New Road in the parishes of Kilmington and Stourton with Gasper when assessed against the criteria for introducing a 30mph speed limit detailed on DfT Circular 1/13 Setting Local Speed Limits.
The Traffic Regulation Order currently being consulted upon proposes the introduction of a 30mph speed limit over the length of the C55 New Road recommended in the speed limit assessment.
