Rural Roads Speed Limit Reigate and Banstead Area, 20mph and 30mph speed limit proposals

Closed 16 Mar 2023

Opened 24 Feb 2023

Overview

Thank you for your interest in our 20mph and 30mph Speed Limit proposals in Various Roads in Reigate. 

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:

As part of a rural speed limits review project it was noted that the existing 60mph national speed limits on Park Lane, Clayhall Lane and Whitehall Lane (Reigate) were inappropriate and an anomaly in comparison to the speed limits on adjoining and nearby roads. It is proposed that the existing 60mph national speed limit is reduced to 30mph on Park Lane, 30mph on Clayhall Lane and 20mph on Whitehall Lane in accordance with Surrey County Council’s “Setting Local Speed Limits” policy.

Reducing the speed limit on these roads will help to manage vehicle speeds to a level more appropriate to the use of road and will reduce the risk and severity of collisions. Lower speeds can also reduce air and noise pollution, and make it easier and more pleasant to walk, cycle and ride horses.

If you would like to object, support, or comment on the proposal, please use the Online Survey linked at the bottom of the page, or alternatively, write to:
