Question:
To ask the Minister for Infrastructure whether her Department would consider a reduction in the speed limit from 60mph to 30mph in the area of Cotton village, Newtownards Road, Donaghadee.

Answer:

Changes to speed limits on a public road are assessed in accordance with the Department’s guidelines, entitled Roads Service Policy and Procedure Guide (RSPPG) E051 ‘Setting Local Speed Limits in Northern Ireland’.

I can confirm that my Department will carry out a speed limit review along this stretch of road during the next few months using the criteria set out in our policy document. Officials will advise you of the outcome upon completion of the review.
