Decision

To approve the installation of a 20mph speed limit on Albion Road, Sandhurst.

Reasons for the decision

The Council is developing a Safer Routes to School (SRTS) programme of highway improvement schemes. These schemes will seek to encourage an increase in walking and cycling journeys and positive behaviours in road users.

Included is a targeted 20mph speed limit zone on Albion Road in the vicinity of Uplands Primary School. This speed limit will serve as a reminder for all drivers that they are in an area with a high level of child pedestrians and to limit their speed accordingly.

Alternative options considered

To not lower the speed limit would offer no inducement to the promotion of active travel methods to and from school.
