Implement Speed Reduction and Speed Bumps Along Broadwater Lane and Showfields estate


Implement Speed Reduction and Speed Bumps Along Broadwater Lane and Showfields estate
The Issue
My son became a victim along Broadwater Lane; he was hit by a car and had to be airlifted to King's in London due to serious injuries. This incident has triggered a deep concern for the safety of the people, particularly children, in our neighborhood. Broadwater Lane, being a straight road in the Showfields Estate, often becomes a speeding track for rash drivers. And the fact that there is a primary school around this area furthers the urgency to implement safety measures. It's high time we take immediate action and prevent such tragic incidents from recurring. We call upon the local council of Tunbridge Wells, UK, to reduce the speed limit and install speed bumps along Broadwater Lane. According to the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents, speed bumps reduce the average speed by around 10% and accidents by up to 40%. Let us prioritize safety over speed and transform Broadwater Lane and Showfields estate into a safe stretch for pedestrian crossing, especially for our young ones returning from school. Your signatures will protect the lives of many, ensuring no one has to go through the pain and suffering that my family endured. Please, sign this petition today and join our fight to make Broadwater Lane safe for all!
