Love Lane, Oswestry - Prohibition of motor vehicles

Proposal

The introduction of a prohibition of motor vehicles traffic regulation order along Love Lane will reduce the danger to vulnerable road users using the road. And, having regard to the existing character of the lane, the restriction will also assist in preserving the amenities of the area through which it runs, and improve the quality of life for local residents.

Cosford – 30mph Speed Limit

The introduction of a 30mph speed limit along Worcester Road West aims to improve the safety of pedestrians, cyclists and other road users travelling between Cosford Train station and the RAF Cosford museum. The speed limit changes will facilitate the introduction of a 2m wide footway that is to be installed on the south side of the carriageway, as currently pedestrians walk along the verge. With the reduced speed limit, cyclists will be able to cycle on the carriageway more safely. The proposals are being implemented following assessment of vehicle speed data and pedestrian movements between the train station and the museum, both during term time and in the school holidays. The proposals are being implemented along Neachley Lane and Long Lane in order maintain a continuous 30mph speed limit in the vicinity of the museum and air base.
