ePetition details

Traffic calming on Preston Park Avenue

We the undersigned petition Brighton & Hove Council to investigate and implement traffic calming measures on Preston Park Avenue as a significant proportion of the vehicles that use this road are driven well in excess of the 20 mph speed limit. Preston Park Avenue is used extensively by school children commuting to local schools, cyclists and the thousands of visitors to the park on a weekly basis. We are concerned that many accidents and damage to cars and near misses on this road are going unreported. We (residents of Preston Park Avenue, and users of Preston Park) urge the Brighton and Hove Council to look into this further and introduce further measures as the 20MPH signs are not a deterrent.

There have been many undocumented hits and misses of vehicles, and people take their lives in their hands crossing the road where virtually all cars are speeding excessively.

This ePetition ran from 12/06/2015 to 01/10/2015 and has now finished.

16 people signed this ePetition.

Council response

Response provided by the Chair of the Environment, Transport & Sustainability Committee on 13 October 2015:

“Thank you for your petition.

As you may know, the implementation of the city-wide 20mph speed limit includes a period of monitoring to measure speeds and the extent of non-compliance. Following this, consideration of further, physical measures to support the speed limit will be carried out and a programme of measures will be brought before this Committee at a later date for approval following consultation with residents. Residents' concerns for Preston Park Avenue will be recorded and considered alongside the monitoring and evaluation of solutions”.
