London Road - reducing the speed limit to 20mph - Notification

Hounslow Council is introducing a 20mph speed limit along London Road between it's junctions with St John's Road, Isleworth and The Ham, Brentford High Street.

To support 'vision zero' (a strategy to eliminate all traffic fatalities and severe injuries), and the council's wider road safety objectives, the Council have developed plans to make this road corridor safer and more accessible for all users.

The decision to reduce the speed limit to 20mph is being taken in light of concerns raised about road safety along London Road, particularly around the Twickenham Road / Spur Road junction near to The Green School for Boys and Girls. There have been a number of recorded collisions along this stretch, and the road currently operates with a 30mph limit.

A 20mph limit is to be implemented to improve safety, encourage walking and cycling, and create a calmer and more pleasant environment for local residents. It will also bring the speed limit into line with other surrounding roads.

This is to notify residents of the road safety improvements being planned, further detail on what changes to expect are found in the links below.

2 plans are available showing details of the schemes.

Plan 1 - London Road (east section from Twickenham Road to Brentford High Street).

Plan 2 - London Road (west section from Twickenham Road to St John's Road junction)

The key objectives of introducing a 20mph speed limit:

• Reduce vehicle speeds to make the road safer for all road users, especially pedestrians and cyclists. Support 'vision zero' - helping to reduce collisions, casualties, and the risk of fatal or serious injuries.
• Promote active travel by encouraging walking and cycling in line with the borough's sustainable transport and clean air goals.
• Prioritise safety for pupils and families travelling to and from The Green School for Boys and Girls, and other nearby schools.
• Enhance the character of the area, making it a safer and more enjoyable place to live and travel.
• Provide safer routes to schools, encouraging more physical activity and healthier travel choices.

Wellington Road North and South - reducing the speed limit to 20mph - Notification

Hounslow council has received concerns about road safety along Wellington Road. Currently, it is 30mph, and approximately half of Wellington Road South is already 20mph near Heathland School.

We are now proposing to reduce the remaining 30mph section of Wellington Road South, to 20mph, so that both roads have a consistent speed limit.

To support 'vision zero' (a strategy to eliminate all traffic fatalities and severe injuries), and the council's wider road safety objectives, the Council have developed plans to make this road corridor safer and more accessible for all users.

The decision to reduce the speed limit to 20mph is being taken in light of concerns raised about road safety along Wellington Road.
