Full council record
Purpose
The proposed reduction of the existing National Speed Limit and the introduction of a 40mph Speed Limit on sections of the Lutterworth Southern Bypass (A4303) and Coventry Road (A4303) was necessary to support the installation of a new staggered, signalised Toucan Crossing.This Crossing formed part of the planning conditions for the Leaders Farm development. The scheme was implemented to improve road safety for all users, particularly in light of increased pedestrian and cyclist activity expected in the area.Separate from the proposed changes, the existing 40mph Speed Limit on Lutterworth Road (A4303) was included to correct an anomaly, with no change to its extent.
Decision
To implement the 40mph Speed Limit on the Lutterworth Southern Bypass (A4303) and Coventry Road (A4303), Lutterworth.
