Decision details

The Local Committee received a petition at its meeting on 24 February 2014 signed by 102 local residents concerned about vehicle speeds and road safety in Tite Hill, Englefield Green.

Traffic survey data shows that a significant number of drivers travel in excess of the 30mph speed limit in Tite Hill.  However, the road has a relatively good safety record compared to many other roads within Runnymede. 

A number of road safety improvements are already proposed for Tite Hill and these were due to be installed shortly – including vehicle activated signs.  It was therefore recommended that the impact of these measures on vehicle speeds and road safety be assessed before consideration was given to additional measures. 

The Local Committee (Runnymede) agreed that:

(i)    the impact of existing developer funded proposals to reduce vehicle speeds and improve road safety in Tite Hill be monitored and assessed.

(ii)   the possible introduction of further highway safety measures in Tite Hill be considered when the Committee assesses schemes for inclusion in its 2015/16 programme of works.
