Holyhead Traffic Management Scheme (South) Proposed Traffic Regulation Order

Overview

Birmingham City Council is proposing the introduction of a one-way system and 20mph speed limit following concerns raised by residents.

A public consultation on these proposals was first carried out in 2023. All comments from that consultation have been acknowledged and considered as part of the ongoing development of the scheme.

What is included in this consultation?

A Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) is the legal documentation required to make changes to the status of the highway (road). This consultation is to make residents and businesses aware of the proposals to introduce and make permanent.

The TROs in this consultation include two types of change: traffic movements and speed limits.

These proposals are intended to have the following benefits:

• Roads will become less likely to attract “rat runners” short-cutting through the estate between Rookery Road and Sandwell Road
• Parking for passing traffic will become less attractive, resulting in more road space for local residents
• Reduced speed limits will result in safer streets for people walking, wheeling (wheelchairs, pushchairs etc) and cycling, in line with Birmingham City Council’s Transport Plan objectives
