Speed limits to be cut on 52 St Ouen roads

52 roads across St Ouen will see their speed limits reduced, with around 30 new Green Lanes.

Motorists will have to drive more slowly through the western parish as a raft of roads fall under the Road Committee's new decisions.

The aim is to improve safety for other road users, such as cyclists and pedestrians, people going to and from work and school, and to encourage active travel.

The most notable limits to be updated include La Route de Vinchelez, which goes from the parish village to the Plemont turn-off.

It is being reduced from 40 mph to 30 mph.

Another is Le Chemin du Moulin, which is the back road, away from the Five-Mile Road, going to L'Etacq.

The section going north from La Charriere a Sablon to La Route des Laveurs, near Jersey Pearl, is going to be reduced to 20 mph.
