A NATIONAL speed limit out of Dorridge could be cut to 30mph.Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council wants to axe the national speed limit in Grange Road, just before The Railway Inn pub.
The de-restricted speed limit would instead begin further down Grange Road, past the turning with Windmill Lane. See the map of the proposal here.

The council will implement the change automatically if no objections are received.
The cabinet member for transport and highways will need to make a decision if objections are received.
The council last year approved a cut to 30mph beginning closer to Dorridge, at the junction with Earlswood Road and on to the Warwickshire boundary (see map).
Yet it said: “However, during the detailed design stage it was discovered that the design
visibility requirements could not be met.”
The Silhillian reported yesterday that the speed limit is to be cut to 50mph on Solihull by-pass.
