Traffic Calming
Traffic Calming is an important element
in the local road safety strategy and as such is an important
technique in reducing both the number and severity of road
accidents in Cheshire East. The Council is committed to the
promotion of Traffic Calming schemes where the benefits can be
shown to outweigh any disadvantages. In particular the Council will
give priority to those schemes where the accident reduction
potential is the greatest.
New sites will only be considered for
traffic calming where there are personal injury accidents on the
proposed roads. Sites that are to be considered will be prioritised
using an approved assessment procedure that takes into account
factors such as accidents, speeds, traffic flow, through traffic,
pedestrian and cycle generators, schools, development and community
severance.
Public consultation will always be carried out as part of any
scheme development.
