ROAD TRAFFIC (SPEED LIMITS) (JERSEY) ORDER 2003
Purpose of the Report
To amend the Road Traffic (Speed Limits) (Jersey) Order 2003 introducing historic changes and changes following the review of the first phase of St Helier, and Grouville.
Background
The Road Safety Action Plan 2017-19 sets a target to review speed limits Island-wide by the end of 2019. The Action Plan also sets out a framework for the setting of appropriate speed limits to achieve island-wide consistency.
In March 2017 The Minister and Officers met with the Comité de Connétables and agreed that process changes would be made to each Parish’s speed limits on a parish by parish basis following each parish review. It was subsequently agreed by the Minister that St Helier would follow a two phase process with roads inside the Ring Road and in the Havre des Pas area being implemented in the first stage.
St Helier have completed the first phase of their review and Grouville have completed their review. These have been assed as deliverable and compliant with the framework set out in the Road Safety Action Plan. Both reviews have been approved by a Parish Assembly.
