A529 Hinstock to Woodseaves - 50mph Speed Limit

Proposal

Title of scheme

A529 Hinstock to Woodseaves - 50mph Speed Limit

Description

The A529 between Hinstock and Audlem has been highlighted by the Road Safety Foundation as a section of high concern and therefore attracted funding from the DfT Safer Roads Fund.

The reduction of the speed limit along Wood Lane from national speed limit (60mph) on the link between the north of Hinstock and the south of Lockley Wood to 50mph, is to support the safety countermeasures which are possible within the highway boundary. This will improve this section of the highway network by facilitating and improving safety for vehicular traffic and all other road users.

The reduction of the speed limit from national speed limit (60mph) on the link between Lockley Wood Crossroads to 200m north of Mount Pleasant Crossroads and 32m back along the side road to Lightwoods/Cheswardine to 50mph, is to support all the safety countermeasures at Mount Pleasant Crossroads completed in Autumn 2019 which were possible within the highway boundary. This will improve the safety of this section of the highway network by facilitating and improving safety for vehicular traffic and all other road users.
