BEDFORD BOROUGH COUNCIL PROPOSE TO REDUCE THE SPEED LIMIT ON HIGH STREET AND BEDFORD ROAD, RISELEY
Reason for Proposal:
Bedford Borough Council has received a request from Riseley Parish Council that a section of the existing 60mph speed limit at both ends of the High Street at Riseley be reduced to 40mph to act as a “buffer zone”, so that drivers can decelerate in a staggered fashion from 60mph to 40mph in advance of the 30mph speed limit. This proposed reduced speed limit is intended to help provide a safer road network for all highway users, including motor cyclists, pedal cyclists and pedestrians.
Effect of the Order:
1 To introduce a 40mph speed limit on the following lengths of roads:
| A | High Street, Riseley |
|---|---|
| (i) | From the end of the existing 30mph speed limit (approx. 110m metres north of the centre of the private road to Flint’s Wood), for a distance of approx. 400 metres in a north-easterly direction. |
| B | Bedford Road, Riseley |
| (i) | From the end of the existing 30mph speed limit (approx. 35m metres southwest of the centre of Sharnbrook Road), for a distance of approx. 420 metres in a southerly direction. |
Relevant proposal documents may be examined during normal office hours at Borough Hall, Cauldwell Street, Bedford, MK42 9AP. They will also be available for viewing on the council’s website at www.bedford.gov.uk/proposedtro . The documents will be placed on deposit until 6 weeks after the Order is made or until it is decided not to continue with the proposal. For further information, please contact Andrew Prigmore at Bedford Borough Council on 01234 228341.
