Poyle Road, Tongham Speed Limit Proposals

Overview

Thank you for your interest in our speed limit proposals on Poyle Road,Tongham.

The legislation we must follow before introducing this scheme means that we need to allow objections and comments from the public to be considered before a final decision is reached about whether or not to go ahead with our preferred scheme in its current form.

The proposal: 

The purpose of this Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) is to extend the existing 30mph speed limit on Poyle Road by an additional 15.4 meters. This extension is necessary to accommodate the installation of traffic calming measures, which must be situated within the 30mph speed limit extent.

Poyle Road currently has a 30mph speed limit that ends and becomes a 40mph speed limit within the vicinity of 115 Poyle Road. However, community engagement has highlighted concerns around vehicles speeding in Tongham Village, and so Surrey County Council have proposed a scheme of traffic calming measures in several locations in the village to improve road safety and reduce vehicle speeds. On Poyle Road the proposed traffic calming measure is formed of a priority give way to encourage slower vehicle speeds amongst drivers entering the village.

Extending the existing 30mph speed limit by 15.4 meters will ensure that the new traffic calming measures are located within the lower speed limit of 30mph.
