This proposal helps to achieve the
Council’s aim to reduce casualties, improve the safety and
quality of life for residents and those who travel through.
The proposed Speed Limit Order for the A6096 forms part of a number
of improvements included in a 2021-22 Traffic and Safety Capital
Scheme for this route.
Due to the A classification, current speed
limit and rural nature of the A6096, other suitable traffic
measures are limited. For example: vertical and horizontal measures
can only be introduced on roads with a speed limit of 30mph or
less, and where street lighting is present.
The Department for Transport (DfT) guidance provides a site
selection criteria where the number of killed or seriously injured
is at least three per kilometre for fixed safety camera sites.
Before investigating the suitability of Safety Cameras other
options should be considered first.
