Issue details

Lancashire County Council (Serpentine Road, Burnley, Burnley Borough) (1.5m Width Restriction) Order 202* Legal Reference: LSG4/894.19869/AFR

 

 

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.
