Calls have been made for extra traffic measures to be put in place on a main road stretching from Nottingham, through Lady Bay and into West Bridgford where motorists 'do not know the limit has changed'. A new limit of 30mph was imposed on a stretch of Radcliffe Road in April but people living in and around the stretch in question say too many drivers have not noticed.
Previously a 40mph section, the limit applies from the Meadow Lane junction, just north of Lady Bay Bridge, to its junction with Davies Road in West Bridgford, near Gamston. Proposals were put forward in October last year and are designed to reduce the traffic speeds on the approach to junctions and improve road safety, according to Nottinghamshire County Council.
The revised limit is now being enforced, with signs being placed at several spots such as its junction with Meadow Lane and Trevelyan Road. Allie Whitton, who has lived in Radcliffe Road for just over a year, said it had "not really" made a difference. "I think when I walk towards the road I see a lot that don't seem to know that it's changed," said the 21-year-old student.
