Dated this 22nd day of October 2020. Director of Law & Assurance, County Hall, Chichester. West Sussex County Council (Barnham And Eastergate: Fontwell Avenue (A29)) (40 MPH Speed Limit) Order 2020

Statement of Reasons for Proposing to Make the Order

West Sussex County Council proposes to make a permanent Traffic Regulation Order that will extend the 40 MPH speed limit on Fontwell Avenue (A29) in the parish of Barnham and Eastergate. The extended 40 MPH speed limit would run from a point 45m north of its junction with Eastergate Lane, northwards to its junction with the A27.

Planning permission has been granted for the construction of a development of new houses and commercial premises on land east of Fontwell Avenue. This development will be accessed from a section of Fontwell Avenue which is presently subject to the national 60 MPH speed limit.

Despite a 60 MPH speed limit applying, average traffic speeds on this length of road are presently in the region of 40 MPH so the new junction has been designed to the appropriate safety standards for this speed of traffic. To accommodate the new junction safely it is therefore considered appropriate to reduce the speed limit to 40 MPH on this section of Fontwell Avenue.

The new order is therefore proposed to avoid danger to persons or other traffic using the affected lengths of road.

The attached drawings, numbered ******* shows the length of road affected by the proposed order.
