As part of the mitigation measures for the HS2 Project across the County, it is proposed to apply a 20mph speed limit along the main shopping route through the town of Southam.
Scheme Overview
As part of the mitigation measures for the HS2 Project across the County, a total of 25 differing and widely ranged schemes have been put forward to be funded by HS2. These 25 schemes have been investigated by the County Councils own Traffic & Road Safety Team and have put each scheme forward to the HS2 Board. The scheme through Southam, is to apply a 20mph speed limit along the main shopping route through the town of Southam. Reducing the current speed limit should have the effect of slowing motorists down to assist turning traffic in/out of the side roads, preserve visibility and thus aid road safety. Further details are given in the public notice below.
