The Grove, Haddenham Proposed 30mph Speed Limit

Overview

Buckinghamshire Highways are proposing to introduce a 30mph speed limit throughout The Grove development in Haddenham. This will be aimed at facilitating a safe passage, and to prevent any danger arising to all road users.

We are asking you for your views on this proposal.

Background

The Grove is a new housing development located in Haddenham, bordered and linked to Stanbridge Road to the east and Aston Road to the south, as shown in Figure 1 below:

This development consists of over 300 two, three, four and five bedroom homes. There are a variety of nearby schooling opportunities and playgrounds, providing a pull to the area for young families, increasing the number of young children to the area. Some concerns have been raised regarding anti-social speeding in the area. 

There is some street lighting present across the development, however the current arrangement of lighting columns does not automatically restrict the road to 30mph. Therefore, a Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) is required to impose a 30mph speed limit upon these residential roads. 

What we are Proposing

We are proposing to implement a 30mph speed limit order with the addition of repeater signs along the following roads: 

The implementation of the TRO will to assist in preventing the likelihood of any danger arising to pedestrians or other road users. It will also facilitate a safe passage on the road for any class of traffic, including pedestrians. Furthermore, the TRO should preserve the amenities of the area through which the road runs.
