West Sussex County Council (Haywards Heath: Queens Road and Adjoining Roads) (20 MPH Speed Limit) And

(Prohibition of Heavy Commercial Vehicles) Order 2018

And

Haywards Heath: Queens Road Traffic Calming Measures 2018

STATEMENT OF REASONS FOR PROPOSING TO MAKE THE ORDER

West Sussex County Council proposes to make a permanent Traffic Regulation Order that will: a) Introduce a 20 mph speed limit throughout the whole lengths of Bridge Road, Church Avenue, Gordon Road and Queens Road in Haywards Heath; and b) Prohibit Heavy Commercial Vehicles (those exceeding 7.5 tons) from the whole lengths of Church Avenue and Gordon Road. The Order also prohibits these vehicles from Queens Road between its junction with Mill Green Road and the western kerbline of its junction with Bridge Road. Queens Road in Haywards Heath is a residential road but has an industrial area at its eastern end, accessed from Bridge Road. Concerns have been raised about traffic speeds in Queens Road and also about the residential end of the road frequently being used by heavy goods vehicles accessing the Bridge Road industrial area. To address these concerns it is proposed to introduce a 20 mph speed limit throughout Queens Road and the adjoining roads, and to install traffic calming features on Queens Road to facilitate compliance with the new speed limit. It is also proposed to prohibit heavy commercial vehicles from the residential parts of Queens Road, and the adjoining roads leading to it, leaving safe access to the industrial area off Bridge Road for HGVs via the eastern end of Queens Road. These measures are therefore proposed to avoid danger for traffic using the roads and to improve the amenity of the area through which the affected roads run. The attached drawings, numbered CMS8018 Speed Limits, CMS8018 Weight Restriction show the new traffic restrictions proposed by the Order. Drawing No. 70039831-DD-101 shows the proposed traffic calming features. Director of Law & Assurance 28 June 2018 CMS8018-MM
