THE A523 TRUNK ROAD (POYNTON (SOUTH), CHESHIRE) (40 M.P.H. SPEED LIMIT) ORDER 200

The Secretary of State for Transport, Local Government and the Regions hereby gives notice that he intends to make an Order, under sections 84(1)(a) and (2) of, and paragraph 27(1) of Schedule 9 to, the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984, on the A523 Trunk Road at Poynton in the county of Cheshire. The effect of the Order would be to impose a 40 m.p.h. speed limit on the A523 Trunk Road from a point 182 metres south of its junction with Street Lane to a point 64 metres north of its junction with Hope Green Way. The Order would revoke the Trunk Roads (40 m.p.h. Speed Limit) (No. 19) Order 1981. By revoking the above Order a short length of the A523 Trunk Road from a point 64 metres north of its junction with Hope Green Way to its junction with Lostock Road would revert to a 30 m.p.h. speed limit by virtue of the street lighting installed on it.
