Decision Maker: Director of Community Services, Environment and Culture
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: No
Subject to the statutory consultation process,
approve a permanent Traffic Regulation Order to reduce the speed
limit of A1305 Riverside to 30mph by revoking the current 40mph
(2013) Order. A Notice of Works for a new controlled (Puffin)
crossing is to be processed for construction in Summer/Autumn
2025.
The proposals are required to ensure the safe
operation of the highway as part of the approved Stockton
waterfront development plans. The proposed speed limit reduction is
associated with the road realignment and narrowing to single
carriageway plus the new land bridge over the carriageway. It is
considered that the character of the road will change upon
completion of the development and 30mph is appropriate for
that.
A new controlled crossing will assist pedestrians crossing between
Finkle Square and the riverside from the north/centre of the High
Street.
As detailed in the associated report.
