20mph zones

Kent County Council puts 20mph zones in areas where there is a history of crashes involving child pedestrians or cyclists. These zones are mainly used in residential areas.

In these zones, physical traffic-calming measures, such as speed bumps, are used to keep speeds low.

Who can request a 20mph zone?

Local residents can ask us to consider putting a 20mph limit in place, if they feel there is significant danger to pedestrians, and especially children.

If you think there is a need to significantly reduce speed on your road, you can contact us.
