The speeding on Gallows Hill Lane and around Abbots Langley village has been increasing in recent years. Despite the police infrequently performing speed checks, this has had little-to-no impact on drivers passing through the village.

I would like to propose this matter is taken to the county councillor for Abbots Langley to request that safety measures are considered. 

 

The problems include:

• Speeding (including lack of on-going enforcement)
• Safety - for pedestrians, there are no safe or designated places to cross the road
• Safety - for drivers from side roads
• Noise and quality of life
• Air quality

 

Potential road calming solutions could include:

• Speed camera
• Pedestrian crossings (designated at more than a single location)
• Reduce speed limit to 20 MPH - throughout village and/or extend from the High Street
• Vehicle passing places
• Road signage
• Width restrictions or speed humps

 

A map showing the location of every traffic accident can be found on this website - www.CrashMap.co.uk - SEARCH 'GALLOWS HILL LANE' > search for - ‘Gallows Hill Lane, Abbots Langley’ for information on ALL traffic incidents in the area.

 

A long-term and permanent action is needed and waiting for a fatality to take action is not acceptable - you have to live here to see that the situation is out of control.

 

Please sign this petition to support making Abbots Langley village safer for all.
