NOTICE OF MOTION – SPEED LIMITS IN NEW DEVELOPMENTS

 

 

MOTION WORDING

The following Notice of Motion has been submitted by Councillor Field and seconded by Councillor Wright.

 

Evidence shows that 20mph limits:

• increases a pedestrian's chance of survival if hit by a car

• improves the quality of life for those living in a 20mph zone

• leads to calmer streets and improved community cohesion

• reduces pollution 

 

This Council requests the Cabinet to:

Consider implementing a maximum speed limit of 20mph when adopting roads in new developments.
