A new 20mph speed limit as part of traffic calming measures on Hallfields Road, Orford, Warrington is legally set to come into force tomorrow, Monday, although no new signage is yet in place.
Warrington Borough Council’s legal public notice published earlier this week states the 20mph limit will be effective from Monday, February 20.

The Order will be effective from 20th February 2023.
