Draft Gateshead Council Speed Management Plan (Nov 2020)

The Council is seeking views on the draft Gateshead Council Speed Management Plan, which was approved as a basis for consultation by Cabinet on 20th October. The Speed Management Plan (SMP) sets out how the Council will develop and implement its approach to speed management, including the setting of speed limits, thereby helping to minimise the number and severity of accidents.

Comments are welcomed from people living, travelling and working across the borough. This may cover the aims and principles of the plan, the Council’s approach to identifying and prioritising works, and the Council’s approach to setting speed limits and introducing speed management engineering measures, as well as any further comments on the rest of the Plan.
