Speeding traffic is a concern of many local residents in Hucknall.
Hucknall Lib Dem campaigner Martin Howes says “In my view, a speed limit of 20 miles per hour should apply to residential side streets across the whole of Hucknall. On the streets where our families live, twenty is plenty.”
As well as improving road safety, lower traffic speeds bring several other benefits. These include encouraging more cycling and walking, reducing traffic noise and reducing pollution.
Enforcing the speed limit on main roads
We would like to see the county council do more to remind motorists of the speed limit. Electronic speed indicator signs can be part of this strategy. We know that police resources are stretched, but the safety of our children must be a priority. There is a strong case for more enforcement of speed limits.
