Most definitely at prime school times, but not for round the clock. Other towns have flashing amber lights and instructions to slow down to 20mph at prime times.

This is a great initiative to make our streets safer for children and adults to walk and cycle. This is the norm in most civilised countries. Our roads and lanes are destroyed by the noise, presence and speed of continual streams of traffic. Pannal Ash Road is due to be resurfaced and despite calls to North Yorkshire to reimagine the road their focus remains to improve junctions to keep the traffic moving. This has to change.

20mph in built up areas is essential.

As stated the figures speak for themselves. More engaging thought to transport is required.

Great idea, hopefully we can get rid of a few of those huge SUVs off the roads

I strongly support this petition. 20mph limit for the whole area and safe crossing places are much needed.

20mph limit has been a great success in Edinburgh, average traffic speed scarcely changes (less time at lights more time moving more slowly) but dangerous speeds for children above 20 mph are much reduced and risk of death or injury like lower

With so many schools in a small area it is such a busy area. Slower traffic and defined crossing will be so much safer.

Thank you for all your campaigning on this important issue. Living on Arthur’s Avenue I witness a lot of unsavoury driving behaviours and genuinely fear for my children’s safety as pedestrians. Measures to slow traffic and provide safer crossings are much needed and most welcome.

The speed cars do on Otley road is far in excess of 30mph and dangerous.

Essential to reduce speed to 20mph on Pannal Ash Road promptly. For everyone’s safety. (

Long overdue. Thousands of children use this route everyday.
We do not want to be having this conversation after a tragic event.

Great idea! I wholeheartedly agree with you. It can only be a good thing to get 20mph in the areas you outline. To be honest I don’t know why the residents on Arthur’s Ave have never campaigned for it, given how busy and narrow it is on that road. And down towards Ashville the pavements are really narrow, so even 30mph feels too fast when you’re walking along there.

Superb presentation the other night- agree with all you say. Traffic bombs along Harlow Moor Road, too - when it was resurfaced I asked for speed bumps to be put in. No response from our then Councillor Jim Clarke! Same with Arthurs Avenue- needs speed bumps.Good Luck.
