William Bristow Road - Speed reduction displays

We the undersigned petition the Council to implement speed reduction monitors on William Bristow Road. This will ease the reduction in speeding traffic as this road is used as a bus route and a main route cars use to get on to London Road as they are unable to turn right at the top of Daventry Road.

I am a resident on William Bristow Road, observing with alarm the increase in speeding vehicles coming from the Mount and traversing up and down our particular neighbourhood. This matter affects not just mine, but every resident's life, especially when we consider the safety of our children at risk.

The situation equally mirrors the one on the Mount road. However, the installation of a speed reduction monitor there has drastically reduced the rate of careless driving. If similar measures are enforced here, it will do much to safeguard our community. According to the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents, speed is a contributing factor in 31% of fatal road accidents and 18% of reported accidents have involved exceeding the speed limit (RoSPA, 2020).

Therefore, I kindly ask for your backing to implement a speed reduction monitor on William Bristow Road. The happiness, security, and well-being of our neighbourhood depend on action like this being taken, helping to create a safer space for children and all residents. Please sign this petition and support us in reducing speed and increasing safety on William Bristow Road.
