Issue details

Lancashire County Council (Gorsey Lane, High Street, New Street And Smithy Lane, Mawdesley, Chorley Borough) (Road Humps)

The purpose of the proposed New Road Humps is to improve the safety of motorised and non-motorised users, helping to control the speed of approaching traffic at this busy crossroads location and to give drivers sufficient time to assess the layout helping towards safer navigation of the area.

 

The proposals form part of a s278 Agreement under the Highways Act 1980 as part of a new housing development off Gorsey Lane which will increase traffic and pedestrian movements along New Street, Gorsey Lane, High Street and Smithy Lane.
