Measures deemed necessary following recent traffic counts where 85% of vehicles were exceeding the posted 20mph speed limit.

Assessment of Risk:   Implementation of traffic calming will decrease vehicular speeds, improve road safety for all vulnerable road users especially school children in the vicinity of Walkden high School.

The source of funding is– a combination of a HDB Funds and additional contribution from Block 3 funding totalling £70,400.
