Revealed: Latest roads in Greater Manchester borough to get 20mph speed limits

Click Here to read in detail


Speed limits in 'urban areas' - and on residential streets - in Rochdale will be capped at 20mph.

The limit on main roads will not be changed. Work is continuing to bring more areas in into the scheme. Some £1.2m was set aside.

Following a council meeting in October 2021, town hall bosses committed to a maximum speed of 20mph in certain areas.

Speed bumps, chicanes and other speed reduction measures are to be implemented.

Phase two of the scheme is already underway, with areas in Heywood, Smallbridge, Caldershaw and Norden seeing new traffic calming measures.

More work will start later this month.

The targeted areas for Phase 3 include:

Willows Lane area, Pennines Chesham Avenue/Trub area, Rochdale South Clay Lane/Sheffield Lane area, Rochdale North Hopwood Triangle area, Heywood Hall Drive area, Middleton

The completion date for some elements is spring 2026. Further work is yet to be confirmed.

Coun Shah Wazir, cabinet member for highways at Rochdale Borough Council, said: “We’re proud to be leading the way in implementing reduced speeds on roads across Rochdale borough.

"This will be a major step towards better road safety for everyone, particularly our most vulnerable road users, like children, older residents and those who are less mobile. It will also make it easier for people to make healthier travel choices where possible, like walking and cycling.

“We’ve committed £1.2m to this important project and it’s being rolled out now, with a number of roads already having the new speed limit implemented and the next phase of the rollout set to start imminently.”
