Scrutiny review of speed limits in urban areas
This project review board questioned the extent to which it is desirable and feasible to extend the use of 20 mph zones in East Sussex.
Main recommendations of the review
The review board came up with seven recommendations including:
- piloting alternative ways to introduce 20 mph zones that involve residents more and minimise the use of conventional engineering measures
- better promotion of the reasons why 20 mph is the most appropriate speed limit for many residential and shopping streets in towns and some villages
- increasing consultation and involvement with local communities to help develop and support these schemes.
A complete report on this review was presented to the Transport & Environment Scrutiny Committee on 8th March 2006, it is available to download below.
