City Road Local Safety Scheme Traffic Regulation Order consultation
Overview
Following several road traffic collisions and concerns raised by residents, changes to City Road were consulted on in March 2020 to improve road safety.
The scheme aims to reduce vehicle speeds and road traffic collisions in the area. Comments from this previous consultation were reviewed and any necessary changes made.
The scheme includes the following:
- 20mph speed limit outside George Dixon schools (between Fountain Road and Portland Road) and City Road Primary School (between Selwyn Road and Twyning Road)
- Vehicle activated speed signs in sections where the speed limit remains 30mph. When a vehicle is travelling too fast, a sign will remind the driver to slow down
- Central island kerbed sections in the middle of the road, to reduce overtaking movements between Sandon Road and Rotton Park Road
- Double yellow lines (no waiting at any time) on the corners of several side roads
- Permanent bollards added on the pavement outside City Road Convenience Store to stop vehicles driving and parking on the footway.
This consultation is about the Traffic Regulation Orders (the legal documents required to make changes to the status of the road) associated with the City Road Local Safety Scheme.

What is included in this consultation?
A Traffic Regulation Order, or 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, amend and make permanent, TROs on the City Road corridor from properties number 489/474 City Road to the junction of City Road with Dudley Road .
A TRO is accompanied by a plan (map) showing the proposed measures visually.
The TROs in this consultation include two types of change: parking restriction; speed restriction.
