Schedule 2 - amendment to the existing order
Salford City Council (Various Roads in Irlam and Cadishead, Salford) (20mph Speed Limit) Order 2015
Extent of revocation, in schedule to the order:
- Buckingham Road - for its entire length
- Sussex Road - for its entire length
- Berkshire Road - for its entire length
- Melville Road - for its entire length
- Kent Road - for its entire length
- Enticott Road - for its entire length
City of Salford (Fir Street Area) (20 Mph Speed Limit And Revocation) Order 2023
Statement of reasons:
Requests have been made to the Irlam and Cadishead Highways Task Group to introduce 20mph speed limit on Fir Street, Lords Street and Cumberland Avenue.
The majority of Fir Street is currently subject to 30mph speed limits. There are also traffic calming measures such as speed cushions, raised junctions and road narrowings in place.
There is an existing speed limit of 20mph around St Mary’s Church of England Primary School, and introducing a 20mph speed limit for the rest of the area would further contribute to the safety within the vicinity of the school but would also ensure that safety is maintained in the wider residential area.
In line with Salford City Council’s policy of introducing 20mph speed limit on all residential roads, it is proposed to implement a 20mph speed limit in the area.
The introduction of 20mph speed limits would reduce vehicle speeds, consequently improving road safety and would also offer greater protection to both pedestrians and cyclists.
Further details may be examined in the accompanying documents and plans.
