Traffic Calming and Speed Reduction Measures Outside Cockshutt School

Traffic Calming and Speed Reduction Measures Outside Cockshutt School — 6 signatures. Status: rejected.

Petition background

Reduce the speed limit on the main road through Cockshutt to 20 mph and implement appropriate traffic-calming measures outside the school to improve safety and enable pedestrians to cross the road more safely.

Additional details

Reducing the speed limit to 20mph outside Cockshutt School, supported by traffic calming measures, is essential to protect children and improve road safety. Children cannot reliably judge vehicle speeds and may act unpredictably near roads. At 20mph, drivers have more time to react and stopping distances are significantly shorter, reducing both the likelihood and severity of collisions. Measures such as raised tables and clearly marked crossings help ensure drivers slow down consistently. A safer environment encourages walking and cycling, reduces congestion and noise, and supports the wellbeing of pupils, families, and the wider community.
