Dear Resident......
Liberal Democrat Councillor for Merley & Bearwood ward Learn more
by davidbrown on 20 July, 2008
After much pressure from your local ward councillors, the MP for Mid Dorset and North Poole, and the residents of Arrowsmith Road to reduce the speed limit approaching the dwellings to 30 mph, the review of speed limits for local roads was put before the Council’s Transport Advisory Group recently.
The police explained that they did not have sufficient resources to monitor speed limits below 40 mph in this area and would oppose the motion. The group considered that to have various speed limits along that road would confuse motorists.
The outcome was that the statutory speed limit for the Gravel Hill end of Arrowsmith Road would be 40 mph. The rest of Arrowsmith Road will now be 30 mph.
Magna Road
At the same Transport Advisory Group an extension of the 30 mph speed limit from the Bearcross roundabout to just past the Bearwood post office was approved due to the volume of traffic along Magna Road.
Lower Gravel Hill
The group also approved an extension of the 40 mph speed limit from the roundabout at Darby’s Corner to just past the roundabout at the crematorium, due to the volume and speed of traffic along the lower Gravel Hill.
Please therefore be aware that new signs will appear on these roads in the very near future.
