In a bid to improve road safety and address concerns over speeding drivers, six villages are set to have their speed limits reduced to 30 miles per hour. Authorities have prioritized these locations following reports of frequent speeding incidents that pose risks to residents and pedestrians alike.
The new speed limits aim to create safer environments by encouraging drivers to slow down, particularly in residential areas where children and families are more vulnerable. Enforcement measures will be strengthened to ensure compliance, with the goal of reducing accidents and enhancing community well-being.
Residents in the affected villages have expressed support for the change, noting that lower speed limits will make local roads safer and more pleasant for walking and cycling. The transition to 30mph limits reflects a broader commitment to safer roads and responsible driving practices across the region.
