Halifax: New 20mph limit could come into place on number of roads
Drivers in several areas of Halifax may soon need to stick to 20mph limits if a council application is approved.
Calderdale Borough Council has announced a proposal to introduce a 20 mph speed limit on a number of residential roads.
Under the proposed variation, the following streets would be affected:
Branwell Crescent, Cashmere Road, Craven Avenue, Edgerton Close, Ferry Bank Lane, Freeman Drive, Mount Lane, Ribbleswood Road, Round Hill Place, Sage Grove, Spout Hill, Stableford Drive, Tapestry Gardens, Thread Hill Close, and Wildfell Close.
Why the change?
The council’s stated intention is to enhance safety on local roads by reducing speeds in residential areas.
What next?
Residents can view full details at Halifax Central Library from Monday to Friday, 10:00-17:30 and Saturday, 10:00-16:00pm.
