Lower speed limits on 68 roads

The changes come after a public consultation was launched in 2019 which asked Islanders for their feedback as part of a Road Action Safety Plan to review speed limits in the parish.

Of the chosen locations, 40 will have their speed limit reduced to 30mph and 28 will be reduced to 20mph.

Infrastructure Minister Kevin Lewis said: ‘Our ongoing review emphasises road safety, with particular focus on reducing speeds within school vicinities. This will help to provide safer routes to school for children and young families. Elsewhere, lower speed limits are intended to enhance the environment for those living nearby.

St Saviour Constable Sadie Le Sueur-Rennard, added: ‘Ensuring the safety of parishioners and schoolchildren in our community within St Saviour is important to me, that is why I am committed to delivering the Speed Limit Review which primarily focuses on reducing the speed limit in school areas, precisely 43% of the speed limit changes on parish roads are within vicinities of schools, community centres and nurseries.

‘The Road Committee’s aim is to encourage parishioners and children to walk to school, promoting a safer environment and a more attractive walking route for children and to make roads safer within schools and urban areas.’
