Glen Road 20mph zone

Morley Borough Independent Councillors have welcomed a proposal which could bring a 20miles an hour zone to Glen Road in Morley. The road, which runs through a large residential area, has been the subject of requests for speed reduction programme from residents for many years and will now form an initiative which will cover the whole of the Glen Estate.


Cllr Shirley Varley said “We know residents have raised their concerns about the amount of traffic using Glen Road and the speed motorists have travelled at. We have undertaken speed monitoring programmes with the Police and many motorists have reduced their speed as a result of this action. The introduction of a 20mph zone along Glen Road will allow us to bring down speeds further and this is good news for residents who live there.”

The relevant work is likely to be undertaken over the next few months and will include new traffic regulation orders and appropriate signage.

Cllr Judith Elliott said “The reduction in the speed motorists travel at on Glen Road is a priority that has been raised with us by local residents and the local tenant and residents group. We have raised this with Highways Officers and they agree that the area is an appropriate one for a reduced speed limit. This will make the roads safer for all – especially younger children and the elderly.”
