Barnsley Council proposes new speed limits on key roads
Barnsley Council has announced proposals to change speed limits on several major roads across the borough, including parts of the A635 and A6195.
Under the plans, a new 30mph limit would be introduced on the A635 Dearne Towns Link Road, covering the stretch from the west side of Hollygrove Roundabout around to its north eastern, south eastern and southern boundaries.
A new 50mph limit is also being proposed on sections of Doncaster Road at Darfield, Billingley Green Lane, and Flat Lane in Billingley.
In addition, some sections of road would be derestricted under the order. These include parts of Doncaster Road at Cathill, the A635 Dearne Towns Link Road, the A6195 between Cathill and Broomhill Roundabouts, and Park Spring Road/ Rotherham Road at Grimethorpe and Middlecliffe.
