New 20mph speed limit proposed for Northamptonshire village road
A new 20mph speed limit could be introduced on part of a road in a Northamptonshire village under plans put forward by West Northamptonshire Council.
The proposed restriction would apply to a 150-metre stretch of Hartwell Road in Roade, starting six metres south of its junction with Manor Close and High Street and running southwards.
The road is close to the centre of the village, near the High Street junction. Roade is around five miles south of Northampton and sits on the A508 between Northampton and Milton Keynes.
A public notice published on May 7 says the council is proposing the order under the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984.
Residents have until May 28 to submit comments, representations or objections. These can be sent to Kier Highways, Brixworth Depot, Old Harborough Road, Brixworth, NN6 9BX, or emailed to [email protected], quoting reference P2154.
