Hinstock - 20mph speed limit zone - Jan

Proposal

Description

 

Speed limit proposals for a 20mph zone in Hinstock were advertised from 25th August to 22nd September 2022 along with CIL funded proposals to improve pedestrian safety at the Zebra crossing location, support for road safety countermeasures proposed in the DfT Safer Roads Fund project including the extension of highway lighting and traffic calming, and Shropshire Councils Schools 20mph study.

The proposed 20mph is readvertised as the two-year timeframe has been exceeded.

The introduction of a 20mph speed limit in Hinstock combines the intentions of three

Projects: CIL funded proposals to improve pedestrian safety at the Zebra crossing

location, support for road safety countermeasures proposed in the DfT Safer Roads Fund project and the findings of Shropshire Councils Schools 20mph study.

The proposals highlight the “village hub” and with the installation of traffic calming

measures including a raised table for the Zebra crossing, mini roundabout and approaches in conjunction with an upgrade to the highway lighting to incorporate the whole length of the 20mph zone.

The 20mph length will also encourage compliance to the 30mph speed limit in the

remainder of the village.  Separate measures within the 30mph sections of the village will further encourage adherence to the speed limit as street lighting proposals permit.
