Dear Mr Steventon,
Re: B4176
Thank you for your petition.
Staffordshire County Council takes road safety extremely seriously and as such we appreciate the time you have taken to contact the Council with your concerns.
Staffordshire County Council has a statutory responsibility to study road collisions in its area and act as appropriate to reduce their numbers.
The B4176 does not currently meet the criteria in terms of speed related collisions for the Council to consider further investigation at this time, but we will of course continue to monitor data for this location.
If a pattern of treatable collisions emerges then remedial measures, proportionate to the accident problem, will be proposed and prioritised against other locations across Staffordshire.
If vehicles are not adhering to the current speed limit then we would encourage you to report your concerns to the Police, who are the main enforcement agency for motoring offences and have the necessary powers to enforce speeding vehicles.
Details of how we use objective data to make informed decisions about road safety improvements, as well as information on how these are funded, are available in the Road Safety section of our website.
I trust the above is of assistance.
