Rural Roads Area 3 Guildford and Waverley Speed Limit proposals

Overview

Thank you for your interest in our speed limit proposals in Guildford and Waverley.

The legislation we must follow before introducing this scheme means that we need to allow objections and comments from the public to be considered before a final decision is reached about whether or not to go ahead with our preferred scheme in its current form.

The proposal:

The aim of The Rural Speed Limit Project is to review all 60mph national speed limit roads, with a view to reduce the speed limits appropriately. Some adjoining roads (with posted speed limits lower than 60mph) may be reviewed to ensure continuity of the speed limit hierarchy.

Lower speed limits can help to reduce collisions and improve safety for all roads users. It has been shown that the slower a vehicle is travelling then the less likelihood there is of a serious or fatal injury occurring. It is expected that by introducing a lower speed limit this will help reduce vehicle speeds and improve safety and accessibility for all road users including pedestrians, cyclists and equestrians, and support sustainable travel more generally.
