PDF 127 KBDecision Maker: Cabinet Member for Public Realm
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: Yes

Purpose:
Introducing 20mph speed limits on all
remaining 30mph borough roads to ensure a boroughwide speed limit
of 20mph.
Decision:
1. That the Cabinet Member approves the introduction of a 20mph speed limit on all classified A roads within the borough (excluding TfL operated roads). Roads for consideration which are currently 30mph include: Scrubs Lane and Wood Lane (A129), Uxbridge Road (A4020), Goldhawk Road (A402), Shepherd’s Bush Road (A 219), Fulham Palace Road (A219), Hammersmith Road (A315), Lillie Road (A3218), Dawes Road (A3219), and Fulham Road (A304).
2. That the Cabinet Member approves the proposed expansion of the 20mph area on all A roads on a permanent basis.
Reasons for the decision:
The proposal would address the need to reduce the speed limit on all classified A roads within borough, therefore making these roads safer for all road users. With reduced speeds of travel the likelihood of creating a safer environment with less traffic collisions with less severe injuries is increased.
Alternative options considered:
