Title:

Kilnhurst Road, Rawmarsh Proposed 30mph extension and No Waiting at Any Time

Decision Maker:

(Including Job Title)

 Simon Moss

Assistant Director, Planning, Regeneration and Transport 

Specific Delegation:

(If any)

To promote, consider objections to and implement Traffic Regulation Orders under the Traffic Regulation Act 1984.

Brief Description of Decision:

The purpose of this report is to consider an extension to the existing 30mph speed limit by approximately 30m on Kilnhurst Road, Rawmarsh, as shown on Appendix A, and also, to consider a proposed no waiting at any time restriction on Kilnhurst Road, Rawmarsh, both sides of the road, a length of approximately 193m, also shown on Appendix A. The key recommendation of the report is to continue with the making of the orders for the two proposals.

Reasons for the Decision:

There is a risk that without implementing the proposed speed limit extension and no waiting at any time restriction to better reflect the road environment, the proposed traffic calming features may not reduce vehicle speeds, to an appropriate level, as they travel along this section of Kilnhurst Road, with the potential for a collision to increase.

Details of alternative options considered and rejected:

Do nothing and keep the existing length of 30mph speed limit as it currently is, and do not introduce the proposed no waiting at any time restriction which would permit vehicles to park within the extents of the proposed scheme, potentially affecting how drivers travel over the proposed road humps. 

This option is not being promoted as this would not have the desired effect of improving the road safety environment on this section of Kilnhurst Road, where there is an existing primary school and a proposed new residential development that is currently under construction.
