Following a wide ranging discussion, it was unanimously resolved to submit the following responses in relation to the various proposed speed limits in Braddan:
Union Mills – Object to the imposition of 20mph on the Peel Road and suggest 30mph with a pedestrian crossing installed in place of the current central pedestrian refuge.
Ballaoates Road – Request an extension of the new 20mph section from Strang Crossroads to the entrance of Union Mills Football Club. Suggested 40mph from Union Mills Football Club to Sir George’s bridge.
Cooil Road – Object to the imposition of 40mph and suggested 30mph from Spring Valley Roundabout to Cooil Chapel.
Braddan Road – Object to imposition of 40mph and suggested 30mph in line with suggested changes on Vicarage Road.
Old Castletown Road, Keristal, Glen Road and Marine Drive – object to imposition of 20mph in these areas and suggest either they’re left as they are or set at a max of 40mph
Spring Valley Industrial Estate & IOM Business Park – object to imposition of 20mph in these areas, as its unnecessary due to parked vehicles and the design of the estates.
Ballafletcher Road – object to the imposition of 40mph suggest 30mph in line with Vicarage Road from the junction of Braddan Road to the junction with Tromode Road.
