​​​​​20mph speed proposal from Surrey County Council
Surrey County Council is proposing to introduce a 20mph scheme on the High Street and surrounding
residential roads in Banstead. Speed surveys show that traffic calming is not required. However,
where speeds are highest, 'light-touch' features such as Vehicle Activated Signs (VAS) or painted r
oundels may be included.
The aim of the scheme is to create a safer environment for everyone, particularly children travelling to and from school.
These roads have a concerning collision record, with 25 injury incidents over the past five years, 12 involving pedestrians, and six resulting in serious injuries. Slower speeds on these roads aim to reduce the risk and severity of collisions, helping to prevent life-changing injuries and improve safety for all road users.
Please view the maps to see what’s being proposed, along with details from the speed surveys. Then please share your feedback using the form below.
In response to the number of accidents and incidents involving pedestrians and motorists in central Banstead, a 20mph speed limit zone is being considered by Surrey County Council for the roads listed below in central Banstead Village. (Please note that additional roads and areas are being considered for speed limit downward adjustments - separately to this particular 20mph zone - in response to accidents / incidents and local resident demand. Please do not be concerned that a road you have discussed with me or the council previously may not feature in the list below, as work on other roads continues in parallel
When the Council considers or proposes changes to speed limits, this generally generates a range of views / complaints / suggestions / questions from local residents, e.g. “Why are certain roads included, but not others”? Or, “Why is the council starting the zone at point A, when point B is obviously more appropriate!? Etc, etc.
In order to review and respond to residents’ feedback / questions, a public engagement exercise will run until Feb 15th
.
If you have ideas / concerns / questions / comments on the scheme, please engage with this exercise online via the ‘Have Your Say’ portal here: Have Your Say Today - Banstead High Street And Surrounding Roads, Banstead - Commonplace
