Extra 20mph zones for Bengeo

11th January 2022 4:56 pm / molewood

Hertfordshire County Council (HCC) has been investigating a speed limit change in East Bengeo in order to improve the quality of life and road safety within Hertford.

The West side of Bengeo was largely converted to 20mph in 2016 with the aim of creating a peaceful and less intimidating environment especially for vulnerable road users.

HCC believe this will allow people to be more confident when walking and cycling in the area. They propose to implement a 20mph zone in East Bengeo, which is bounded by Wadesmill Road, Bengeo Street and Port Hill (these roads are not included within the 20mph zone and will remain as 30mph limit).

The proposal is summarised below, and its extents can be viewed in greater detail on the attached drawing.

  • Signage As part of a 20mph zone, it is required to install signs at all road entry points to/from the zone. These will be kept to the minimum size and number as permitted by the regulations.
  • Road Marking In accordance with the regulations, periodic 20mph road markings are to be provided within the zone.
  • Speed Cushions Where necessary, there will be speed cushions provided every 100 metres.
