(40 M.P.H. SPEED LIMIT) ORDER 199

The Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions hereby gives notice that he proposes to make the above-named Order under section 84(1)(a) and (2) and 122A of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 on the A30 Trunk Road in the county of Devon.
The effect of the Order would be to impose a speed limit of 40 m.p.h. on the following lengths of the new A30 Trunk Road between Honiton and Exeter:

(a) on both the westbound carriageway and the eastbound carriageway from a point 30 metres east of the centreline of the Sowton Lane Overbridge to the Motorway Overbridge at Junction 29 where the Trunk Road joins the A3015 Principal Road.
(b)(i) the slip road leading to the westbound carriageway, starting from its junction with Sowton Lane; and
(ii) the slip road leading from the eastbound carriageway, terminating at its junction with the old A30 at the Redhayes junction.

A separate 40 m.p.h. Speed Limit Order will be made by Devon County Council over a length of the A3015 Principal Road to cover the unrestricted length that remains between the end of Devon County Council’s existing 40 m.p.h. Speed Limit Order on Honiton Road and the proposed length of the 40 mph speed restriction on the A30 Trunk Road.
