LEICESTERSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL

C8314, SPROXTON, SALTBY & CROXTON KERRIAL

PROPOSED LOWER SPEED LIMIT

STATEMENT OF REASONS

All County roads that are assigned the national speed limit have been reviewed to identify those with an accident rate higher than the national average. As a result of this review Saltby Road, Croxton Road and Sproxton Road have been identified to have a total number of accidents above the national average. Therefore, in order to increase general safety and reduce the accident rate, the County Council proposes to reduce the speed limit from 60mph to 50mph.
