Safer Roads in the Beach Road Area, Cleveleys

National Guidance states that for a 20mph zone to be introduced, the 20mph speed limit should be self enforcing. This means that if the current road layout allows drivers to exceed 20mph then speed reduction features will need to be introduced. Therefore, we propose to construct round-top humps, sets of bus cushions and junction tables within the Beach Road Area. This will enable us to introduce a 20mph speed limit zone within the shaded area indicated on the plan overleaf. There will also be 20mph zone entry and exit signs denoting the area's entrance/exit and it is intended that these will include a road safety slogan. Property numbers of homes adjacent to the measures are also indicated for your reference.

As a part of the assessment, a preliminary study has been carried out in the area in order to determine any unfavourable geological conditions. The results showed that no excessive vibrations should be generated by the speed control features and transmitted to adjacent properties. Therefore, it is envisaged no damage to properties or noise should result from the installation of the speedcontrol features.

Following this consultation, when the positions of all the traffic calming features are finalised, we will carry out further groundwork to confirm the initial geological survey results.

We would be interested to have your views on the proposal before the end of Friday 27th June 2008.
