Changing Speed Limits

Quite often you see requests to change speed limits for various reasons, so here is some info on what is involved. Some recent examples in Wealden are a rejection at Eridge Road Crowborough from 40mph to 30mph but at Burwash Road Heathfield recommendation to change from 40 mph to 30mph both involve housing development.

Changing Speed Limits

National Guidance

  

See here Setting local speed limits

Key points

Speed limits should be evidence-led and self-explaining and seek to reinforce people’s assessment of what is a safe speed to travel. They should encourage self-compliance. Speed limits should be seen by drivers as the maximum rather than a target speed.

Traffic authorities set local speed limits in situations where local needs and conditions suggest a speed limit which is lower than the national speed limit.

This guidance is to be used for setting all local speed limits on single and dual carriageway roads in both urban and rural areas.

This guidance should also be used as the basis for assessments of local speed limits, for developing route management strategies and for developing the speed management strategies which can be included in Local Transport Plans.

Traffic authorities are asked to keep their speed limits under review with changing circumstances, and to consider the introduction of more 20 mph limits and zones, over time, in urban areas and built-up village streets that are primarily residential, to ensure greater safety for pedestrians and cyclists, using the criteria in Section 6.

This guidance applies to England.

A starting point for requesting a speed linit change can be found here

East Sussex How we decide

All requests for road safety improvements are assessed by our Road Safety Team. Significant issues will be investigated in more detail using national legislation and guidance, as well as our own policies and working practices.

 

Approved works

A list of requests for road safety improvements that have been approved or approved for further assessment will be published on this website and updated every six months. See the PDF:

Road Safety -  Approved Works and Assessments [101.3 KB] [pdf]

The next update will be published in April 2023.

Extract from School travel plan guidance,

"The aim of a school travel plan (STP) is to enable more children or students, their families and staff to use public transport or to walk, cycle or car share to and from school."

Against New Development on Mornings Mill Farm, Eastbourne Road

We are all people that care about what happens with Mornings Mill Farm development. We are worried about the affect on traffic levels, air pollution and importantly losing a space which supports a large eco system for wildlife. This area is already used by many people to engage with nature and have space. Which is sadly disappearing in Eastbourne and surrounding areas.

Ringmer Against Greenfield Exploitation

We will seek to protect Ringmer’s countryside against inappropriate development that is contrary to the key principles and policies of the Ringmer Neighbourhood Plan, the Lewes Local Plan and the South Downs National Park Local Plan, and contrary to the wishes of most Ringmer residents.

 SANGS (Suitable Alternative Natural Greenspaces) 

Definition

'Suitable Alternative Natural Greenspace' (SANGs) is the name given to the green space that is of a quality and type suitable to be used as mitigation in the context of the housing development.

 SANGs are intended to provide mitigation for the potential impact of residential development on the SPA by preventing an increase in visitor pressure on the SPA. The effectiveness of SANGs as mitigation will depend upon the location and design. These must be such that the SANGS is more attractive than the SPA to users of the kind that currently visit the SPA.
