The roll out of the first phase of new 20mph speed limits is ongoing, with roads across 15 areas getting new signage and road markings ahead of the speed limits becoming enforceable.

Chair of the Environment, Climate Emergency and Transport Committee, Cllr Liz Grey speaks about why 20mph speed limits are being introduced across the borough.

 

We're introducing 20mph limits in Wirral, to try and make our roads as safe as possible.

We know that people have asked us if we can make our roads safer - so there's a lot of residents requesting this

We are hoping that the main areas that will benefit will be around shopping areas, will be residential areas where people live but also, we're focusing quite significantly on schools. We want schools to be a lot safer. We want to make that school run a safer experience for everybody.
