Longden School - keep clear markings

Proposal

Title of scheme

Longden School - school keep clear markings

Description

The introduction of a variable 20mph along Shrewsbury Road, Longden Road, and School Lane, Longden, in line with the council's guidance from 2023, is proposed to improve the safety of school children, residents and other road users during the school peak times.

The proposals are being implemented on Shrewsbury Road and Longden Road following assessment of vehicle speed data and pedestrian movements around the Plealey Lane junction and the school pedestrian access on this road. There is limited space to implement the required signage on School Lane on the approach to the junction and the signage is proposed at the most suitable location.

It's proposed to implement a no stopping on entrance markings restriction outside the school car park entrance to facilitate safe pedestrian movements around this access during school peak periods.
