Nearly 1,000 Merseyside roads could become new 20mph zones

Nearly 1,000 roads could become new 20 mph zones in Wirral as new plans are revealed.

Wirral Council is proposing to reduce the speed limits on 947 roads in the next stage of plans to introduce hundreds of new zones on streets across Wirral. They are part of major changes to Wirral’s roads aiming to get the number of people killed or seriously injured on roads down to zero by 2040.

The new proposals follow the roll out of 20mph zones earlier this year after a Wirral Council environment committee unanimously approved them on more than 1,700 roads in January.
