Similarly, from Friday, May 22, sections of various roads in Gillingham will have 20mph speed limits.
The new regulations, issued under the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 as amended, can be seen online at the Dorset Council website or in person at Dorset Council's County Hall, Colliton Park, Dorchester by appointment.
Meanwhile, Dorset Council is planning a temporary road closure in Hilfield, due to start on Thursday, June 4 to carry out surface treatment works.
This follows the intention to make a Temporary Traffic Management Order under Section 14 of the Road Traffic Regulations Act 1984, seeking to adhere to health and safety regulations by establishing safe working zones and decreasing potential risks to road users.
The order will be enforced for 18 months but the council anticipates the work will be done by Thursday, June 18.
During this period, a road stretching 1,420 metres between Hilfield Lane and Hilfield Road in Hilfield will be shut.
No parking will be allowed on the road affected, and no waiting on the highway will be allowed either.
For concerns about the work being done and access arrangements, people can contact Dorset Highways on 01305 228100.
People caught using a vehicle against the notice may face fines of up to £1,000.
Separately, Dorset Council announced the confirmation of the Public Path Diversion Order 2025 which involves the rerouting of parts of Footpath 33 and Footpath 78 in Gillingham.
Though now confirmed, it is not operational yet.
Details of these diversions have been shared publicly.
The complete order and map can be seen for free at Dorset's County Hall or online at the Dorset Council website.
