Decision details

The purpose of this report is to seek approval for the introduction of turning bans at the junction of Lower Turf Lane and Huddersfield Road, and Heywood Lane and Huddersfield Road to improve the safety for vehicles and non motorised users.

RESOLVED - That:
It is recommended that the following be introduced in accordance with the schedules at the end of this report:-
- Prohibition of Right Turn on Huddersfield Road into Lower Turf Lane
- Prohibition of Left Turn on Lower Turf Lane onto Huddersfield Road
- Waiting restrictions at the junction of Huddersfield Road with Heywood Lane and with Lower Turf Lane

An alternative option would be to not install the measures described, but this would not address highway safety.

A previous proposed scheme was to introduce one way traffic along Lower Turf Lane. It did not go ahead due to concerns of knock-on effects at Heywood Lane.

Not applicable

None
