How Wood 20mph Area Engagement

Introduction 

Hertfordshire County Council wants to hear your views on where 20mph speed limits may be appropriate in How 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 How 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?

 

Tippendell Lane


Tippendell Lane connects into the wider road network and is sometimes used as a cut through route between the surrounding distributor roads. It includes some residential properties and a bus stop without a formal crossing facility nearby. Footways are limited in width and availability, presenting challenges for people wishing to walk or cycle to local shops, schools and railway stations. Concerns have been raised locally about vehicle speeds.

5.  

Park Street Lane (between Park Street and Tippendell Lane)


This section of Park Street Lane is often used by traffic connecting to nearby main roads. Footways are narrow and, in some locations, affected by pavement parking. The route provides access to local shops, schools and railway stations, and can present challenges for people wishing to walk or cycle. Concerns have been raised locally about vehicle speeds.

6.  

Park Street Lane (between Tippendell Lane and Maplefield)


This section of Park Street Lane forms the main spine road through How Wood, however footways are limited meaning people need to be able to cross the road easily. It is predominantly residential and an important link for people walking or cycling to the station.
