WEST SUSSEX COUNTY COUNCIL(HORSHAM AND COLGATE: FOREST ROAD(40MPH SPEED LIMIT) ORDER 2019Statement Of Reasons For Proposing To Make The OrderThe County Council in exercise of their powers under the Road Traffic Regulation Act1984, propose to make a permanent Order the effect of which will be to introduce a40mph speed limit on the length of Forest Road that runs east of Roffey north-eastwardsfor a distance of 1400 metres.Currently the section of Forest Road that runs between Pease Pottage and Roffey issubject to a 60mph speed limit. Concerns have been raised locally that the speed limit isinappropriate and a number of traffic collisions have occurred in the vicinity of the sharpbend outside South Lodge. North Horsham County Local Committee approvedprogression of a Traffic Order to introduce a 40mph speed limit on Forest Road as part ofthe 2019/20 TRO delivery programme.A review of the speed limit has been carried out and, at the western extent east ofRoffey, the proposed lower speed limit is compliant with the County Council’s SpeedLimit Policy. The propsed 40mph speed limit is deemed to be a more appropriate speedlimit taking into consideration the characteristics of the road and the accident history. Itwill provide a buffer zone between the 30mph in Roffey and the 60mph speed limit. Itwill also provide encouragement to westbound traffic as they approach the sharp bendoutside South Lodge.It is proposed to introduce a 40mph speed limit on Forest Road from the extent of the30mph in Roffey north-eastwards for a distance of 1.4km.The primary aim of the initiative is of road safety and casualty prevention, and it isintended that this approach will not compromise the effectiveness of existing speedlimits around the county.This Order is proposed so as to avoid danger to persons or other traffic using the roadsor to minimise the likelihood of any such danger arising, to facilitate the safe passage onthe road of any class of traffic (including pedestrians) and for preserving or improvingthe amenity of the area through which the road runs.Drawing HON1901 proposed speed limits shows the length of road, which is the subjectof the proposed order.Director of Law & AssuranceCounty HallChichesterTRO/CHs1605
