Please provide me with information about any speed restrictions and traffic calming measures or safety features in Alverdiscott Road, EX39 4DA, in particular in the area around the school entrance.
There is a 30mph speed limit in force on Alverdiscott Road from its junction with Gammaton Road to a point 18 metres east of the entrance to Kingsley Hospital.
The Devon County Council (Various Roads, Bideford) (Restricted Roads) Order 1990 under the Road Traffic Regulation Act introduced the speed limit on Alverdiscott Road.
At the Gammaton Road end the historic Restricted Road status ( 30mph speed limit) is by virtue of the system of street lighting.
Where a system street lighting is in place, legislation does not permit the provision of 30mph speed limit repeaters signs.
There no formal traffic calming measures in place in Alverdiscott Road.
A footway was constructed from Gammaton Road towards Alvergreen on the north side of Alverdiscott Road in the late 1990s, which enabled the school to use its rear entrance, this also reduced the width of the carriageway.
A zebra pedestrian crossing was also installed at the end of Alverdiscott Road in the late 1990s as part of the Safer Travel to School programme.
