Welcome to our consultation on our plans to introduce a 20mph speed limit in Barkway.
We are seeking your views on introducing a 20mph speed limit across residential streets, town centre and school areas in Barkway. Our aim is to create safer, calmer streets for residents, support children walking to school, and make it easier and safer for everyone to move around the area.
The proposal would apply to most residential streets.
This page sets out our proposals and gives you the chance to share your views. By completing the survey, you can help us design a scheme that works for your area.
Stronger neighbourhoods Calmer roads make public spaces more sociable and welcoming while better supporting children, older people and those with mobility impairments.
Smoother journeys Journey times typically take only seconds longer on local trips and traffic moves most smoothly at speeds around 18–20mph under real world conditions.
Protects pets and wildlife Drivers have more time to stop and avoid animals.
What are we proposing?
A 20mph speed limit across most roads in Barkway
Speed reduction zones of 30 or 40mph where required to transition to 20mph
On the map:
Green-highlighted roads indicate those proposed for the 20mph limit.
*Speed reduction zones are roads designed to help drivers slow down before entering a 20 mph area, so they have a lower speed limit than the road leading into them.
A full list of the proposed 20mph roads can be seen below:
Ash Mill
Highfield Grove
Birch Meadow
London Road
Buckland Road
Nuthampstead Road
Burrs Lane
Periwinkle Close
Cambridge Road
Pledgers Place
Chapel Close
Royston Road
Church Lane
Townsend Close
Gas Lane
Windmill Close
High Street
