On Friday 6th March 20mph speed limits come into effect in three town centres: Palmers Green, Southgate and Edmonton Green.

Introduction of the lower speed limit follows a statutory consultation held last year. As noted by Enfield Council on its website, benefits will include:

  • Reduced road danger and fewer collisions
  • Healthier and calmer neighbourhoods with less traffic noise
  • Improvements to health and wellbeing associated with cleaner air and increased use of "active travel" -  walking, wheeling, cycling and using public transport.

For details of the streets where the new speed limit will be in force, see the maps below and the page referenced below on the Let's Talk Enfield website, which has links to the formal documents.
