Tower Hamlets council is committed to making the borough a safer place for all road users. Road traffic accidents statistics show we are right to prioritise this important issue. Measures undertaken to make roads safer include encouraging speed reduction, effective use of traffic management techniques and educating road users.
Speed reduction
In areas where excessive speed is considered a risk to public safety the council can construct ‘speed humps’ in order to reduce traffic speeds.
Speed limits
Tower Hamlets Council is responsible for setting speed limits on roads within their area. The majority of roads in Tower Hamlets are covered by a 30mph speed limit, with the exception of designated 20mph zones and some Red Routes which are 40mph.
