20mph Area B2 - Traffic Regulation Order

Overview

Following the full Public Consultation in September 2016 for proposed 20mph (Area B2) in all or parts of Edgbaston, Harborne, Selly Oak and Bournville, Birmingham City Council propose to make a permanent Order under the provisions of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984, the affect of which will be to alter the existing speed limit to 20mph roads within the Edgbaston, Harborne, Selly Oak and Bournville Wards.

The complete areas showing the affected roads are shown on plan numbers
CA-02714_S1_09_01_0001 - CA-0714_S1_09_01_0006 and CA-02714_S1_09_01_0013

The works included in the proposals are the installation of 20mph signs on new poles or existing lamp columns at regular intervals and supported by 20mph roundels on the carriageway as required.

The formal reasons for proposing the new Order are:

a)      for avoiding danger to persons or other traffic using the road or any other road or for preventing the likelihood of any such danger arising.

b)      for facilitating the passage on the road or any other road of any class of traffic (including pedestrians and cyclists)

c)       for preventing the use of the road by vehicular traffic of a kind which, or its use by vehicular traffic in a manner which, is unsuitable having regard to the existing character of the road or adjoining property

d)      without prejudice to the generality of paragraph (c) above) for preserving the character of the road

e)      for any of the purposes specified in paragraphs (a) to (c) of subsection (1) of section 87 of the Environment Act 1995 (air quality)
