Lower speed limits are set to be introduced in more residential areas across Leeds as part of a city-wide programme to reduce road casualties.
The latest phase of Leeds City Council’s 20 miles per hour (mph) speed limit programme will be rolled out from autumn 2018 and will see reduced speed limits introduced in more residential areas where they are not already in place.
The council says existing 20 mph speed limits and zones have already seen significant improvements in road safety in many of the city’s residential areas, with up to 50% drop in road injuries.
Information sessions will be held in community hubs located in the affected areas, and leaflet distribution will take place where 20mph zones will be implemented.
