Make Preston Road a 30 mph speed limit between Carlton Avenue East and the junction of East Lane/Forty Avenue
In 2018, Preston Road was made a 20 mph speed limit along its whole length.
Whilst such a low speed limit may be required in that part where the shops are, I feel that it is totally unnecessary to have such a low limit between Carlton Avenue East and its junction with East Lane and Forty Avenue.
This low speed limit has caused road rage and dangerous overtaking, Drivers who stick to the limit have reported that they've even been overtaken by buses.
It also does not seem to deter people who race and speed but they are more likely to be involved in an accident.
The Police only enforce the limit in this section of Preston Road and not where it’s really required.
Many people including bus drivers have been prosecuted for driving at 24 mph.
One Police officer told me (unofficially) that in his opinion such a low speed is unnecessary in this part of Preston Road.
We the undersigned would therefore request that the above
section of Preston Road is made into a 30mph speed limit
