Details of Specific Cabinet Delegation

or Delegation contained in the relevant Sub-Scheme of Delegation.

 

The scheme was reported to Cabinet Members on 19th December 2022, (Item 90) and delegated approval was given to the Strategic Director to enter Local Neighbourhood & Road Safety Schemes into the Capital Programme, Transportation Capital Investment Programme, which was approved on 11th May 2023.

Decision:

Approval of the proposal to install road humps at Racecourse Road, Swinton.

 

Reasons for the Decision:

To enable the implementation of traffic calming measures (road humps) at Racecourse Road. To reduce traffic speeds on the road and assist in the reduction of the incidence or likelihood of injury & non injury road traffic collisions taking place.

Details of alternative options considered and rejected:

Alternative traffic calming interventions such as priority working and build outs were considered. However, these are limited in their effectiveness at reducing traffic speeds at all times of the day, at quieter times vehicles can ‘race’ to get through the features rather than give way reducing any safety benefits. Additionally, the instances of queuing can cause unnecessary vehicle emissions because of repeated stop/starts.
