What is happening?
THE NORFOLK COUNTY COUNCIL
(Ditchingham, Various Roads) - (20 Mph Speed Limit Consolidation And Variation Order 2025)
Norfolk County Council propose to make the above-named Order under the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984, the effect of which is to prohibit any motor vehicle from exceeding 20 miles per hour along the lengths of road specified in the Schedule below.
If the Order comes into force the effect will be to consolidate and vary The Norfolk County Council (Ditchingham, Various Roads) (20 mph Speed Limit and De-Restriction) Order 2021 whereby the 20 mph speed limit on the existing lengths of road will not be changed except for the lenght of road given on the U71144 Hamilton Way as shown in the schedule below. This proposed change is an extension of the existing 20 mph speed limit by a distance of 137 metres.
The 2021 Order is proposed to be consolidated for clarity and efficient administration of the restrictions. As part of the consolidation the existing 20mph is proposed to be updated to reflect current legislation, or are being clarified to make them clearer, or are being amended to correct minor errors. The reference of "vehicles" is being updated to "motor vehicles" to reflect current legislation. Other road descriptions are proposed to be updated from the 2021 Order where distances covered by the 20mph Speed Limit have not been changeed but the description has been made more accurate for clarity.
