Over the years, ward councillors and Highways officers have received emails and met with residents concerned about speeding in Ditton Road. Workshops were held in 2019 where residents described the issues and looked at different options to help address the matter.

So far we have introduced the following measures to help reduce speeding on Ditton Road: 

• Speed humps ;
• The road has been  made 20mph;
• Bigger and additional 20mph signs were introduced;
• White 20mph ‘roundels’ were painted on the road;
• The ‘smiley face’ speed check is activated on a rotating basis;
• White hatch markings have been painted in the middle of the widest parts of the road;
• New traffic islands have been introduced to give residents a refuge to shelter from speeding vehicles;
• The pavement at the junction with Hook Road has been extended to discourage motorists from entering the road at speed.

Ward councillors have asked for a review of the various measures that have been introduced to establish the impact they are having. Please fill out the following form to let us know your thoughts.

All comments made will be considered and reported to the Surbiton Neighbourhood Committee or similar platform. Unfortunately we are unable to provide individual feedback.
