Following a speed assessment, the report recommends retention of the existing 50mph speed limit on the A320 between the borough boundary and Brox Road, Ottershaw.

The Local Committee agreed that:

i) the existing 50mph speed limit is retained between the borough boundary with Woking and the start of the existing 40mph speed limit approximately 390m north of the junction with Brox Road.

Andrew Milne introduced the report, noting that the current speed limit on this section of the A320 between Ottershaw and the borough boundary with Woking was 50mph. He advised that the Woking Joint Committee would be considering a report on the speed limit later in the week. He said that it was the view of Surrey Highways and Surrey Police that it was unlikely that drivers would comply with a reduced limit of 40mph.

The local member supported the recommendation. He queried the allocation of £10,000 towards this item, and Andrew clarified that this amount was estimated as what would be needed if the limit changed and new signage was introduced. If the limit remained the same, the saving remained in the budget.
