Traffic Regulation Orders

Once the proposal has been submitted, consultation must take place.

The views of local councillors and parish councils, the emergency services and sometimes other organizations such as local public transport operators will need to be sought.

Local residents, traders and community groups likely to be affected by the order will be consulted where appropriate.

The proposal may be amended after the consultation.

A notice is placed in the local press and in the roads affected.

Objections are then considered through the appropriate council procedure before it is decided how the matter will be taken forward.

The TRO will then be formally made and introduced.

The entire process can take many months to complete especially if objections result in the TRO being changed and re-advertised.

The Council considers that the existing 30 mph speed limit is an appropriate speed limit in order to maintain a reasonable traffic flow on higher traffic volume strategic routes.

The Order is necessary to maintain the existing speed limit of 30mph on selected strategic roads within the borough after the Welsh Government has passed legislation to implement a 20mph default speed limit in urban areas nationally throughout Wales in the interest of road safety.

The Council as Local Highway Authority considers that this road is a strategic route with higher volumes of daily traffic compared to urban residential streets and as such does not meet the criteria or the nature of a road with a speed limit of 20 mph.

The Council considers that the existing 30 mph speed limit is an appropriate speed limit in order to maintain a reasonable traffic flow on higher traffic volume strategic routes.

Statement of Reason

The Order is necessary to allow the conversion of the existing speed limit to 20 mph in order to complement the Welsh Government’s legislation to implement a 20 mph default speed limit in urban / rural areas nationally throughout Wales in the interest of road safety.

The Council as Local Highway Authority considers that the roads do not have street lighting at the regulation spacing and as such it needs to implement a 20 mph speed limit.

The Council considers that the proposed 20 mph speed limit is an appropriate speed limit for these type of roads and that the proposed speed limit aligns with the Welsh Government’s strategy.

(30mph Speed Limit) Order 2023

The Council as Local Highway Authority considers that this road is a strategic route with higher volumes of daily traffic compared to urban residential streets and as such does not meet the criteria or the nature of a road with a speed limit of 20 mph.

The Council considers that the existing 30 mph speed limit is an appropriate speed limit in order to maintain a reasonable traffic flow on higher traffic volume strategic routes.

(30 and 40mph Speed Limits) Order 2023

Statement of Reason

The Order is necessary to maintain the existing speed limit of 30mph on selected strategic roads within the borough after the Welsh Government has passed legislation to implement a 20mph default speed limit in urban areas nationally throughout Wales in the interest of road safety.

The Council as Local Highway Authority considers that this road is a strategic route with higher volumes of daily traffic compared to urban residential streets and as such does not meet the criteria or the nature of a road with a speed limit of 20 mph.

The Council considers that the existing 30 mph speed limit is an appropriate speed limit in order to maintain a reasonable traffic flow on higher traffic volume strategic routes.

The 40mph speed limit is to act as a deceleration buffer zone in advance of the 30mph speed  limit so the speed limit will decrease from national speed limit to 40mph and then to 30mph. This will help to encourage more gradual breaking when transitioning from 60mph to 30mph improving road safety and decreasing pollution from heavy braking.

(30mph Speed Limit) Order 2023

Statement of Reason

The Order is necessary to maintain the existing speed limit of 30mph on selected strategic roads within the borough after the Welsh Government has passed legislation to implement a 20mph default speed limit in urban areas nationally throughout Wales in the interest of road safety.

The Council as Local Highway Authority considers that this road is a strategic route with higher volumes of daily traffic compared to urban residential streets and as such does not meet the criteria or the nature of a road with a speed limit of 20 mph.

The Council considers that the existing 30 mph speed limit is an appropriate speed limit in order to maintain a reasonable traffic flow on higher traffic volume strategic routes.

Notice

NOTICE is hereby given that the Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council in pursuance of its powers as contained in Section 84 of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 intends to make a Speed Restriction Order the general effect of which is set out in the Schedule below.
