Have your say on proposed 20mph speed limits across the borough

We want to make our streets safer, cleaner and greener with 20mph speed limits across the borough

Our proposal is to implement a 20mph speed limit on all roads across the borough, which currently do not already have the limit in place. The only exceptions proposed will be private roads and those under Transport for London’s control (A3, A240 etc).

3 reasons why 20mph is great for our roads

  1. Improved air quality: by lowering and evening out acceleration.
  2. Fewer casualties: lower speeds give drivers and others more time to react.
  3. Better health: more people walk and cycle, as they feel safer.

Evidence from other areas of the UK shows a reduction in average speeds when area-wide 20mph is introduced, even if there is no enforcement or traffic calming measures.

This consultation has now closed, we'll be reporting back on outcomes soon.
