A1 between Peel and Douglas undergoes 'Speed Management Policy Review'

The main proposals will see a reduction in the length of 30mph speed limits, which currently extend beyond built up areas.

The A1 between Peel and Douglas has recently been reviewed and a proposed scheme prepared in line with the ‘Speed Management Policy Review’

The purpose of the review was to develop an all island speed policy with the objective of providing a decision-making framework for a consistent application of speed limits.

The A1 is a strategic route that carries all classes of vehicles.

As part of the review they obtained speed data and personal injury accident history for the stretch of road.

The main proposals will see a reduction in the length of 30mph speed limits, which currently extend beyond built up areas.

In addition old or redundant signing will be removed to reduce clutter; pre consultation has been undertaken with the Commissioners and Police and their comments have been considered while drawing up final proposals.
