Purpose

A
new Toucan Crossing is to be constructed on Freckleton Bypass
adjacent to the roundabout. In order to reduce the speed of
vehicles approaching the new crossing as well as providing
additional protection for all road users and pedestrians, it is
proposed to extend the existing 30mph speed limit.
 
The
purpose of this proposal is to introduce a shortened extent of
derestricted speed limit along Freckleton Bypass that has resulted
as a consequence of extending the 30mph by virtue of street
lighting
