Two low-speed areas through heavily-populated areas of Keighley are to be extended with new traffic calming.
Keighley Area Committee last Thursday approved cash to expand the 20mph zones in Highfield and Hainworth Wood.
Bradford Council committee earmarked cash for the projects from this year’s £163,000 budget for traffic management measures in Keighley constituency.
It granted £10,000 to install traffic calming and possible gateway treatment on Hainworth Wood Road, Hainworth Lane and Goff Well Lane.
The measures will extend recently-installed traffic calming measures on Hainworth Wood Road, which had linked long-existing 20mph zones in Woodhouse and Wesley Place.
The committee also granted £15,000 to install traffic calming measures in the Albert Street area of central Keighley.
Albert Street runs from North Street to Highfield Lane, where the road enters a long-existing 20mph zone that incorporates most of Highfield.
The area committee also approved £18,000 for traffic measures including calming across the Braithwaite estate; £20,000 for speed-reducing measures on Marsh Lane between Oxenhope and Haworth; £10,000 for anti-skid surfacing, signs and lining improvements on the Aire Valley Road (A650) at Marley; and £35,000 for pedestrian crossing improvements in Silsden.
