Decision details

The Committee considered a report which details a policy which establishes a framework for Argyll and Bute Council for the selection, prioritisation and approval of speed limits.

The Committee noted that the policy was misleading when discussing the advisory 20mph speed limits.

Decision

The Committee agreed to:

1.      Endorse the proposed draft Road Speed Limit Policy Framework subject to an amendment being made to the section on 20mph advisory speed limits in order to make this more clear.

2.      Approve that Police Scotland and Transport Scotland are consulted on the draft prior to the Policy and Resources Committee considering the Policy Framework for adoption as Council Policy.
