Extension of 50Mph Speed Limit – Alkham Valley Road, Drellingore Agenda Item No 9 Extension of 50mph Speed Limit – Alkham Valley Road, Drellingore To: Dover Joint Transportation Board, 21 April 2011 Main Portfolio Area: KCC – Environment, Highways and Waste By: Head of Transport & Development, Kent Highway Services Classification: Unrestricted Ward: Dover Division : Dover West Summary: This report sets out the details of a proposed reduction of the speed limit to 50mph in Alkham Valley Road, Drellingore 1. Introduction 1.1. This report sets out the details of a proposed reduction of the speed limit in Alkham Valley Road, Drellingore from a derestricted speed limit to 50mph. 2. Proposal 2.1. Alkham Valley Road is a busy local distributor running between Folkestone and Dover. 2.2. There are a number of properties along this section of the road. The properties at Standen Terrace in particular are located on a bend, with a parking area to the front which suffers from poor sightlines. The high speed of vehicles on the main road makes it difficult for vehicles to pull out from the parking area safely. 2.3. The proposal is to reduce the speed limit from 60mph to 50mph in the vicinity of these properties to improve safety for all road users. 2.4. Result of this proposal would be to extend the existing 50mph speed limit westwards by a further 450m. 3. Crash Statistics 3.1. The crash statistics show no personal injury crashes at this junction in the three years to the end of November 2010. 3.2. Crash statistics from previous years show a number of ‘loss of control’ crashes on this bend. 3.3. A local resident has reported some ‘damage only’ crashes. 3.4. The Kent Police Traffic Management Unit agrees that visibility is poor and that those pulling out from Standen Terrace need to do so with caution. 4. Consultation and Responses 4.1. The advertisement was placed in the Kent on Sunday newspaper in March 2011. 4.2. One objection has been received from the Association of British Drivers (Kent Branch). Their concerns are: The reduction in speed limit is not justified given the condition of the road. The reasons given for the proposal is too general and could be applied to any stretch of road. 85 There are no details given of any crashes at this location. It appears that the proposal is for the sake of it. Dwellings on this stretch of road are few and sightlines are reasonable. 4.3. It is apparent from the photos attached that sightlines are not good, and that the speed of traffic along the road poses a significant hazard to people trying to pull out on to the road from Standen Terrace. 4.4. Any other objections will be reported verbally. 5. Recommendation 5.1. That Members agree to proceed with the creation of the Traffic Regulation Order as advertised.
