Prees Higher Heath - reduction in speed limit

Proposal

Title of scheme

Prees Higher Heath - reduction in speed limit

Description

The proposed 50mph speed limit through Prees Higher Heath will replace the existing national speed limit (60mph) along this section of the A49 trunk road. The lower speed limit is more appropriate given the adjacent roadside ribbon development and side road junctions and will reduce traffic speeds and improve safety for both local residents and motorists.

Locations

A49 and Manor House Lane in Prees Higher Heath
