Speed Limits Stalled in Two Villages

Speed Limits Stalled in Two Villages

Published 2 days, 19 hours ago
Description

Two villages in North Yorkshire are still waiting for a response to a three-year-old request to slash the school run speed limit to 20 mph — a move locals say is essential for child safety, especially as new housing sprouts nearby. After a recent scare involving a young boy, frustration is mounting over what residents see as a disconnect between decision-makers and daily parental realities. While the council insists it takes safety seriously — having already installed 25 new 20 mph zones — they cite rural road conditions and traffic patterns as hurdles. A pedestrian crossing at The Bailey is under review, and they’re hiring more staff to handle growing safety requests — but for now, patience is being tested by parents and parish leaders alike.
