D'Urton Lane is a narrow, traffic-calmed, residential lane, which is also part of the Guild Wheel cycle route. The eastern section has a speed limit of 20mph. In accordance with the planning conditions for construction of the Broughton Bypass, a scheme has to be submitted and approved to manage traffic at this location, including measures to prevent motorised traffic using it. This is to avoid the lane becoming a short-cut for drivers wishing to avoid the M55 J1 traffic signals.
A proposal has been advertised and consulted upon to make a traffic regulation order prohibiting driving on D'Urton Lane. The formal consultation has resulted in one objection which is addressed in the body of this report.
