Fellside/Cragside 20mph Speed Limit

Overview

As part of South Tyneside Council’s ongoing commitments to create a safer environment for all highway users, it is proposed to make safety improvements on Fellside/ Cragside. The aim of the scheme is to reduce the speed of the traffic on Fellside and Cragside.

The proposal will introduce a 20mph speed limit on Fellside and Cragside. Department for Transport Guidance recommends that local authorities consider the introduction of more 20mph limits and zones, over time in urban areas and built-up village streets that are primarily residential. To ensure greater safety for pedestrians and cyclists.

Following the informal consultation, we will review all the comments and respond to any enquiries. All the information will then be collated, and we will notify your ward Councillors of the findings.
