The Local Committee (Mole Valley)
agreed:
i.
To note the results of the speed assessments undertaken, shown in
Table 1.
ii.
That, based upon the evidence, the speed limit be reduced from
50mph to 40mph on the A24 Deepdene Avenue, between the existing
40mph speed limit just to the south of the junction with Deepdene
Drive and the North Holmwood roundabout junction, as shown in Annex
2, in accordance with the current policy;
iii.
To authorise the advertisement of a notice in accordance with the
Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984, the effect of which will be to
implement the proposed speed limit change, revoke any existing
traffic orders necessary to implement the change, and, subject to
no objections being upheld, that the order be made;
iv.
To authorise delegation of authority to the Area Highway Manager in
consultation with the Chairman, Vice-Chairman of the Local
Committee and the local divisional member to resolve any objections
received in connection with the proposal.
v. To note that if the scheme has not been successful, then further engineering measures or a return to the original higher speed limit may be necessary.
Reason for Decisions
The above decisions were made to enable the change in the speed limit from 50mph to 40mph, on the A24 Deepdene Avenue, Dorking in accordance with Surrey County Council’s Speed Limit Policy.
