This 20 mph limit is absolutely essential to the safety of children and others in this area, I have two young children and regularly have to face speeding vehicles causing potential danger. The statistics on reducing serious injury with 20mph limits is black & white, in an area like this it’s essential.

We need safe routes to school for our kids that aren’t dependent on the car drop off

I strongly support the implementation of this scheme which could potentially save lives. It will allow children to walk to school more safely. Pannal Ash will become a more pleasant area to walk/cycle. The Council should fully support this plan to reduce fast traffic around these 4 schools, without delay.

This makes complete sense. There is no appreciable downside to this whilst significant upside in improving road safety especially for children, and encouraging the use of healthy and environmentally friendly travel (walking, biking etc.).
Infrastructure does not need to be very expensive, especially to trial this, such as the temporary road blocks recently used to trial the Beech Grove traffic closure.

There appears to be an increasing volume of ever larger vehicles being driven and parked with little or no consideration for others.

Too many drivers don’t pay any attention to the fact that they are speeding right next to a very busy school! It’s an accident waiting to happen!!!

My two young daughters live here and I’m terrified at the speeds I see people going. At the very least we should have the speed monitors like Pannal and Burn bridge have.

As a mum with two children who are both verging on walking independently to & from school, this petition is so incredibly important. The roads I worry about the most are the ones they have to use every single day of their school life because they are so dangerous without these necessary restrictions happening.
Buses which are wide that drive too fast down Pannal Ash Rd have worried me as an adult let alone a child. The major traffic light crossing on the junction with the Co-op on Otley Rd & Pannal Ash Rd is so dangerous at rush hour it’s not true. It needs yellow hash markings in the middle to stop people sitting on the actual crossing because it makes crossing on the green man very tricky for children. The side streets in and around the schools are often used as cut throughs with no speed bumps & everyone is in a rush. This petition is so, so important as the amount of children using these roads it affects hugely.

Please do this! Something needs to be done before an accident happens and a child gets hurt.

It would be fantastic for these infrastructure improvements to be made, to create safer streets in this area and more widely across Harrogate.
