20mph speed limit A243

Reduce speed limit to 20mph on A243 from Malden Rushet to Hook roundabout. Safer for local schools, Chessington World of Adventures and everyone else. 

Why the contribution is important

Reduces risk of road traffic collisions with pedestrians and other cars.

    I am a pedestrian. The excess fumes, and deaths, that the resulting pollution would cause vastly outweigh any minor reduction in risk of injury

    As a car driver....I find the 20mph limit awful...it feels like you are walking.......however I agree that it should be near schools and hospitals etc. There are quite a few crossing places along the A243...maybe just needs one up by the garden centre but not a heavily used pedestrian area. It would also be good to see what accidents and type that have occurred in the last few years and where along this stretch of road. Where all the 20mph restrictions are implemented...I constantly see speeding cars and bikes just when I'm out and about....if it can't be policed (and money is in short supply)......the same irresponsible drivers will be breaking the limit.
