Take survey


Why are we proposing a 20mph limit?

The proposed 20mph speed limit aims to:


  • Improve road safety - Lower speeds reduce the likelihood and severity of collisions, helping protect all road users. Early results from Wales show a 26% reduction is casualties in the first year.
  • Encourage active travel and stronger communities - Slower streets encourage walking, cycling and outdoor activity, creating healthier and more welcoming communities.
  • Better protection for pets and wildlife - Lower speeds give drivers more time to react and avoid animals in the road.


What are we proposing?

  • A 20mph speed limit across most roads in Thundridge, Wadesmill, & High Cross
On the map:
  • Green-highlighted roads indicate those proposed for the 20mph limit.
  • Blue-highlighted roads indicate speed reduction zones.

*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.
