Search the Public Notice PortalA new 50mph speed limit is set to be introduced on a stretch of the A467 in Newport.
Newport City Council has announced proposals to reduce the speed limit, following a review of traffic regulations.
The changes come as part of a broader intention to revoke the Newport City Council (Various Roads, Newport) (Various Speed Limits) Order 2018, which means existing speed limits on lengths of road will be reconsidered.
The new 50mph limit will be enforced on specific sections of the A467 Forge Road.
Traffic heading south will face the new limit from a point 50 metres south of its junction with A467 Forge Road Roundabout (Pye Corner) for a distance of 670 metres in a southerly direction.
In the northbound direction, the 50mph limit will apply from a point 390 metres south of its junction with A467 Forge Road Roundabout (Pye Corner) for a distance of 600 metres in a southerly direction.
The council has provided full details of the proposals in a draft order, which can be inspected via request to conveyancing.team@newport.gov.uk or telephone 01633 656656.
The council has also invited objections to the proposals.
Those wishing to object must submit their reasons in writing to the Conveyancing Team by August 12.
Objections can be emailed to conveyancing.team@newport.gov.uk or sent by post and the notice can be seen in full on publicnoticeportal.uk.
