Road safety and considerate travel

Kingston Council has introduced safer 20mph speed limits to our residential roads.  The lower speed limits create safer, greener neighbourhoods reducing the number of road casualties caused by speeding; making our roads easier to use and more attractive for our residents and those who choose to walk and cycle. 
The new speed limits have been introduced by a phased roll out, approved by each of our neighbourhood committees and undergoing a statutory consultation to gather residents' views. 

Over 70% of roads have already completed the process. Surbiton and South of the Borough Neighbourhood Committees have unanimously approved expansion of 20mph zones in their neighbourhoods and the statutory consultation was open between 29 June - 20 July 2023.  The October committee meetings will be presented with a report of any formal objections received, to resolve objections within each committee.
