The Schools 20mph Zones scheme was approved as
part of the Strategic Safer Roads Programme 2020/21. The scheme
covers 24 schools within the Bradford West, Bradford East and
Keighley Central constituencies.
Successful 20 mph zones are generally self-enforcing and the areas
within this scheme have been carefully selected to include mainly
streets where there are existing traffic calming measures in place
or, if not, the road layout and level of on-street parking and
traffic movement already results in vehicle speeds generally around
20mph or below. However, there are some roads within the proposed
zones where it is considered that additional calming measures are
required to ensure traffic speeds are compliant with the speed
limit. To achieve compliance there should be no expectation on the
police to provide additional enforcement beyond their routine
activity, unless this has been explicitly agreed.
The purpose of the report was to consider an objection to the
traffic calming proposals in the Keighley Central
constituency.
The reason for the decision is to ensure traffic speeds on all
roads within the zones are compliant with the new 20mph speed
limit.
