Following concerns about collisions, speed limits have been changed on sections of two A roads in Cumbria.
limits on sections of the A595 and A5092 have been changed.
After an engineering safety study on the A595 and A5092 between Gawthwaite and Wreaks Causeway, concerns were raised about collisions and the speed of vehicles.
As a result, the study recommended that speed limits were changed from 60mph to 40mph and 50mph:
- A 40mph through Grizebeck along the A5092 and A595.
- A 50mph speed limit either side of Grizebeck to the existing 40mph at Lowick Green and the west side of Wreaks Causeway.
The county council have now implemented these changes.
Cllr Keith Little, Cumbria County Council cabinet member for highways and transport, said: “The news is excellent for the area and for the local residents as well.
“Public safety is our top priority, so I’m pleased to announce the speed limit changes between Gawthwaite and Wreaks Causeway on the A595 and A5092, have been amended.
“These changes are necessary to ensure that residents and businesses can travel along this stretch of road safely and efficiently.”
