Lancashire County Council (Serpentine Road, Burnley, Burnley Borough) (1.5m Width Restriction) Order 202* Legal Reference: LSG4/894.19869/AFR
Decision Maker: Director of Highways and Transport
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Purpose:
The purpose of this proposal is to introduce a
1.5 metre width restriction to create a safe route for pedestrians,
equestrians, cycles and vehicles of less than 1.5m width.
The available width of Serpentine Road (byway BT1201057) does not
allow safe passage of vehicles wider than 1.5m and other vulnerable
users. The nature and width of the route means that normal road
vehicles are unable to reverse safely to allow other users to
pass.
It is proposed to limit vehicle widths to reduce the potential for
accidents and improve the general safety of users.
