Purpose: Oldham Borough Council is looking to promote the introduction of 20mph speed limits in residential areas and around schools throughout the Borough. The Butterworth Lane 20mph Zone has been identified as a priority site due to the fact that it is used as a short cut between Broadway and Hollinwood Avenue, there’s also a school, Whitegate End Primary, located on the route, and it is proposed to install new ‘keep clear’ markings and school signage. The purpose of this report is to consider the implementation of traffic calming measures and a permanent 20mph speed limit on Butterworth Lane and the surrounding roads.
