Decision details

The Cabinet Member for Transport & Environment has agreed to an updated Policy for 20mph limits and zones which will :-

(i) implement 20mph schemes where there is clear justification in terms of achieving casualty reduction as part of the on-going programme of Casualty Reduction Schemes.

(ii) identify locations for 20mph schemes which will assist with delivering targets set out in Kent’s Joint Health and Well Being Strategy.

(iii) enable any schemes that cannot be justified in terms of road safety or public health benefits but are locally important to be funded via the local County Councillors Member Highway Fund. All schemes must meet implementation criteria as set out in DfT Circular 01/2013.
