Bricket Wood 20mph Area Engagement

Introduction 

Hertfordshire County Council wants to hear your views on where 20mph speed limits may be appropriate in Bricket Wood. 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.


Your feedback will play an important role in shaping decisions about whether the scheme proceeds and which roads may be included

Main roads play an important role in moving traffic around Bricket Wood. For this reason, we would not propose that all main roads should have a 20mph speed limit. However, there may be sections of main roads where a 20mph speed limit can reduce traffic collisions and significantly improve road safety, such as where people need to get to places of worship, care homes, schools, parks or community facilities. 

Are there any of the main roads listed below, or sections of these roads, where you think a 20mph speed limit should be considered?

 

Smug Oak Lane (between Hanstead Park and the junction with Station Road)


This section of Smug Oak Lane provides a connection between Hanstead Park, Bricket Wood village centre and the railway station. The route passes homes and is used for local journeys on foot and by bicycle. A 20mph limit may make it easier for people to cross to the footpath on leaving the development as well as make it easier for drivers to pull out.

5.  

Station Road


Although much of Station Road is bordered by open space rather than residential frontage, it forms an important link to Bricket Wood Station and is part of the National Cycle Network. Footways are narrow in places.

6.  

Mount Pleasant Lane (between the roundabout with Bucknalls Drive and Station Road)


Despite its rural character and set-back development, this section provides an important link to Bricket Wood Station and BRE. Footways are narrow.

7.  

School Lane


School Lane forms part of the National Cycle Network, provides an important connection towards Watford and is a popular walking route for families and dog walkers.
