Lancashire County Council (Blackburn Road, Blackburn New Road and Millennium Way, Chorley, Chorley Borough) (Revocation, 40mph and 50mph Speed Limits) Order 202*

 

 

The purpose of this proposal is to introduce a 40mph speed limit that is required for the general road safety for all highway users to facilitate development works. The subsequent reduction in length of the 50mph speed limit would be required to reduce the speed of vehicles approaching and navigating the new junction as well as providing additional protection for all road users and pedestrians.
These proposals are being funded by the developer of the site through a Section 278 Agreement.
