Purpose

Oldham Borough Council is looking to promote
the introduction of 20mph speed limits in residential areas and
around schools throughout the Borough. The Butterworth Lane 20mph
Zone has been identified as a priority site due to the fact that it
is used as a short cut between Broadway and Hollinwood Avenue,
there’s also a school, Whitegate End Primary, located on the
route, and it is proposed to install new ‘keep clear’
markings and school signage.
The purpose of this report is to consider the implementation of
traffic calming measures and a permanent 20mph speed limit on
Butterworth Lane and the surrounding roads.
