Reason for proposal: This Order is proposed to consolidate the existing speed limits in the area following changes to the local road layout associated with the construction of the Woodside Link. Since the completion of the scheme, a number of speed limits have been signed on the ground that are not fully reflected in the current Traffic Regulation Order. The purpose of this Order is therefore to update and rationalise the speed limit arrangements so that the Order accurately reflects the signage in place and provides clarity for all road users.

Effect of the Order:

To introduce a 30mph speed limit on the following length of road in Sundon:-

1.  Sundon Road, from a point approximately 110 metres northeast of the northeastern flank wall belonging to the property Lodge Farm and extending southwest before following the curvature of the road northwest for a total of approximately 498 metres, ending at the western end of the railway bridge.

To de-restrict the following lengths of road in Chalton so that they revert to the National Speed Limit:-

1. Sundon Road, starting at the western end of the railway bridge and extending west for approximately 45 metres, up to the eastern Luton Road/Chalton Road roundabout.

2. The full extent of the eastern Luton Road/Chalton Road roundabout.

3. Luton Road, from the Luton Road/Chalton Road roundabout and extending in a south-westerly direction for approximately 318 metres, up to the western Luton Road/Chalton Road roundabout.

4. The full extent of the western Luton Road/Chalton Road roundabout.

5. L uton Road, from the western Luton Road/Chalton Road roundabout and extending in a south-westerly direction for approximately 383 metres.

6. Woodside Link, from a point 51 metres north of the Chantry Way/ Woodside Link roundabout and extending north for approximately 280 metres up to the woodside Link/A5-M1 Link roundabout.

To introduce a 30mph speed limit on the following length of road in Chalton:-

1. Sundon Road, from a point approximately 383 southwest of the western Luton Road/Chalton Road roundabout and continuing southwest for a further 115 metres up to the Sundon Road/Chantry Way/Waterslade Way roundabout.

2. The full extent of the Sundon Road/Chantry Way/Waterslade Way roundabout.

3. Chantry Way, from the Sundon Road/Chantry Way/Waterslade Way roundabout and extending in a south-easterly direction for approximately 72 metres.

To introduce a 40mph speed limit on the following length of road in Chalton:-

1. Chantry Way, from a point approximately 72 metres southeast of the Sundon Road/Chantry Way/Waterslade Way roundabout and extending southeast for approximately 329 metres up to the Chantry Way/Woodside Link roundabout.
