Clackmannanshire Council have proposed to make a 20mph Experimental Order for two Clacks roads.

The proposal would see Alloa Road in Clackmannan and Branshill Road in Sauchie reduced to 20mph in order to trial a reduction in the speed limit in the interests of road safety.

The traffic order will be in place for up to 18 months and will be used to monitor the effectiveness of the experimental speed limit on those roads.

This is part of Clackmannanshire Council’s response to the Scottish Government’s National Strategy for the Implementation of 20mph on all relevant streets.  

The Council had many streets already subject to 20 limits prior to this, but this was two of several more where a 20mph limit is appropriate to introduce.
