Dated this 17 June 2021 Director of Law & Assurance County Hall Chichester TRO/CHN2101/RC WEST SUSSEX COUNTY COUNCIL (BEPTON & MIDHURST: BEPTON ROAD AND SEVERALS ROAD) (30MPH & 40MPH SPEED LIMIT) ORDER 2021 Statement Of Reasons For Proposing To Make The Order The County Council in exercise of their powers under the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984, propose to make a permanent Order the effect of which will be to introduce:- (i) a 30mph speed limit on a length of Severals Road from is junction with Bepton road northwards for a distance of 250 metres; and (ii) a 30mph speed limit on a length of Bepton Road from its junction with Pitsham Lane southwards to Severals Road; and (iii) a 40mph speed limit on a length of Bepton Road from Severals Road southwards for a distance of 400 metres. The stretch of Bepton Road between Midhurst and Bepton is currently subject to a 40mph speed limit south-west of Midhurst and then the National Speed Limit into Bepton. The stretch of Severals Road running north-west from the Bepton Road is also currently subject to a 40mph speed limit. Concerns have been raised locally about road safety and the general speed of traffic and the Parish Council requested a speed limit reduction. At its meeting on 26 November 2020, the North Chichester County Local Committee selected a proposal to introduce lower speed limits on Bepton Road and Severals Road. Speed data has been obtained and reviewed and it is proposed to reduce the existing 40mph speed limit on Severals Road to 30mph. It is also proposed to reduce the speed limit on Bepton Road to 30mph between Pitsham Lane and Severals Road and to 40mph from Severals Road southwards for 400metres. The proposed lower speed limits are compliant with the County Council’s speed limit policy and adequately reflect the character of the road. The primary aim of the initiative is to enhance road safety and casualty prevention, and it is intended that this approach will not compromise the effectiveness of existing speed limits around the county. This Order is proposed so as to reduce danger to persons or other traffic using the road or to minimise the likelihood of any such danger arising and for facilitating the safe passage of any class of traffic (including pedestrians). Drawing Bepton: Proposed Speed Limits (21.1.21) shows the lengths of roads, which are the subject of the proposed order.
