Cut the speed limit to 30 on most roads, says campaigner

COAST roads could cope with a 40mph speed limit, concedes Living Streets secretary Pat Wisher.

Her comments come ahead of the States report into the island's speed limits, which will be released next month.

Mrs Wisher (pictured) said the group had put its views to the States and felt that a 20mph limit around all schools and parish village centres would be a good move.

She felt the speed limit along the coast road could be raised to 40mph because the roadway was wide and visibility good.

But limits on most roads should be lowered to 30mph.
