Chiltern Road area – Proposed 20mph speed limit and new zebra crossing on Banstead Road South, near Seaton House School

Overview

Background

Sutton Council is committed to making our borough’s roads safer and giving people more choice in how they travel. We want to improve safety on roads to reduce the number and severity of accidents, to make it easier for people to walk or cycle and to improve air quality.

We have received a request from Seaton House School to improve the crossing facilities outside the school and have had requests from residents in the area to install measures to reduce the speed of traffic in the area. We have used this feedback to develop proposals to address these issues.

We now  want your feedback on proposals to introduce a 20mph speed limit in the Chiltern Road area and a new zebra crossing in Banstead Road South, near Seaton House School, as shown on the plan below. 

A plan showing these proposed measures can be found here:
