PANNAL ASH SAFE STREETS ZONE

Please consider speed cameras so there is some enforcement of speed limits

Safe Street Zones should be the norm around all schools. We should all make it easier and safer for children to active travel to school , reducing the perceived risks which encourage parents to drive the short distances, and creating more pleasant environments around growing children and residential areas.

I feel it should also be extended further up Otley road, at least as far as Plantation road. There are lots of children in this area, using Harlow Hill playground/field, using the tennis courts and walking to or from school. The number of cars speeding well over 30mph on Otley road is ridiculous...

The prospect of huge car-dependent housing development in the Western Arc will add considerable pressure on roads such as Pannal Ash Road and effective measures need to be taken beforehand to ensure the safety of all road users.

This is the kind of change we need to help active travel. A similar scheme around Oatlands and the Saints would be good too.

Sensible and well-argued set of proposals.

Cars drive too fast at school drop off time in particular - it’s busy and feels unsafe when some people are rushing about

I have lived in the area for 50years & know of the problems with traffic around the schools, I think a 20 mph zone around all the schools in the area instead of just Pannal Ash Road could be very effective

These streets are used as rat runs to get to various junctions onto Otley Road and other main roads into town which due to ever increasing housing numbers and resulting traffic congestion will only get worse.

I very much support this. These streets should be 20mph. 20mph alone may not be enough to make them safe for cycling. I'd like to know more about the cycle infrastructure suggestions.

Please also note emergency services using Otley Road from the police station creates an additional hazard. This must also be dealt with.

It is important to keep children as safe as possible when walking or cycling to school. A cycle Lane along Pannal ash road will enable high school students to cycle safer.

This is a much needed initiative to mitigate the risk of serious injury to local residents and the hundreds of children that attend nearby schools. Please make this happen.

Vital to have a cohesive integrated policy to safeguard walkers and cyclists.

Pannal Ash Drive is being used as a cut through to access Otley Road and Pannal Ash Road. Cars are driving at speed through this residential area, this has become much worse in the past few years. The area needs speed restrictions of 20mph before someone is seriously hurt.

The lack of appropriate parking restrictions (in addition to speed restrictions) at the top of Green Lane particularly dangerous.
