The Surrey County Council
Public Bridleway 152 (Shere)
Temporary Prohibition of Traffic Order 2024
Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984, Section 14(1) & (2)
On 28 May 2024 Surrey County Council made the above temporary closure order, the effect of which is to prohibit all traffic on foot or by any other means from entering or proceeding along the bridleway as it crosses the railway at Shere Heath Crossing.
The Order is necessary on the grounds of public safety due to the railway crossing being deemed dangerous to the public. The closure is in operation from 28 May 2024 for 6 months or until completion of the works, if earlier. The Secretary of State for Transport can extend that period if required.
The prohibition described above will only be operative while the County Council, or an authorised person acting on its behalf, displays signs prohibiting the said movements.
The alternative route for traffic on foot from the northwestern end of the closure is to proceed in a north easterly direction along Bridleway 151, turn southeast and cross the bridge across the railway, then turn right and follow Bridleway 152 in a south westerly direction to the southeastern end of the closure.
The Surrey County Council Public Bridleway 152 (Shere) Temporary Prohibition of Traffic Order 2023 was made by the County Council under Section 14(1) & (2) of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984.
