Decision Maker: Cabinet Member for Highways and Transport (Cllr Joy Dennis)

Outcome:

Is Key Decision?: No

Is Callable In?: Yes

Purpose: West Sussex County Council is promoting a Local Safety Scheme for the A24/A283 Washington Roundabout to improve road safety performance at this junction. There is currently a higher-than-expected number of collisions on the immediate approach and on the arms of the junction. In addition, a high proportion of collisions involve motorcyclists. The scheme involves changes to the speed limit on the approach to and including the roundabout, the introduction of visibility screens and partial concentric road markings. The package of measures will help to reduce the collision risk at this roundabout.

The scheme involves changes to the speed limit on the approach to and including the roundabout, the introduction of visibility screens and partial concentric road markings. The package of measures will help to reduce the collision risk at this roundabout. The Cabinet Member for Highways and Transport, having considered the objections to the proposals, authorises the Executive Director of Law, Assurance and Insight to make the supporting Traffic Regulation Order as advertised and the Assistant Director (Highways, Transport and Planning) to implement the speed limit, visibility screens and partial concentric road markings, as set out in section 2 of the report.   None declared
