Broadland - Variation and Consolidation of 40 mph and 50 mph Speed Limit Orders

THE NORFOLK COUNTY COUNCIL

(FELTHORPE, HAINFORD, HEVINGHAM, HORSFORD AND STRATTON STRAWLESS, VARIOUS ROADS)

(40 MPH AND 50 MPH SPEED LIMITS) VARIATION AND CONSOLIDATION ORDER 202X

Norfolk County Council propose to make the above-named Order under the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984. The effect of this Order will be to:

1. consolidate The Norfolk County Council (Stratton Strawless and Felthorpe, Shortthorn Road) (40 m.p.h. Speed Limit) Order 2005 and vary the Order by removing the existing reference to Shortthorn Road and replacing it with the C245 Shortthorn Road from its junction with the B1149 Holt Road north-eastwards to its junction with the A140 Cromer Road, a distance of 3256 metres. This is a proposed extension to the current 40 miles per hour speed restriction by 105 metres to meet its junction with the A140, which is currently subject to 60 mph national speed limit; and
2. consolidate The Norfolk County Council (Hevingham, Stratton Strawless, Hainford and Horsford, A140 Cromer Road) (40 mph and 50 mph Speed Limits) Order 2025 whereby the existing speed limits on roads specified in that Order will not be changed.

The Orders are proposed to be consolidated for clarity and efficient administration of the restrictions. As part of the consolidation the existing 2005 Order is being updated to reflect current legislation, is being clarified to make it clearer, is being amended to correct minor errors. The reference of ‘vehicles’ is being updated to ‘motor vehicles’ to reflect current legislation.

A copy of the draft Order, a plan, the Statement of Reasons for making the Order and copy of the Orders being consolidated can be viewed online at www.norfolk.citizenspace.com. Copies are also available for inspection at Norfolk County Council, County Hall, Martineau Lane, Norwich, NR1 2DH and at the offices of Broadland District Council, Horizon Business Centre, Peachman Way, Norwich, NR7 0WF during normal office hours.
