Nevilles Cross 30mph and road safety review

We the undersigned petition the Council to carry out a road safety review along the A167 and A690 in the Nevilles Cross, Crossgate Moor and Whitesmocks areas with a view to reducing the speed limit along these roads and improving pedestrian and road user safety.

The A167 and A690 run through residential areas and pass next to, or near 3 schools. A 40mph limit is therefore totally unsuitable and a real danger to road users and pedestrians alike.
This request is in keeping with the introduction of reduced speed limits around other schools in County Durham (20mph in some cases) and supports other incentives to encourage school children to walk to school to help reduce obesity.
There have been many accidents along these roads (and fatalities) and a reduction in speed can only lead to a reduction in accidents along with the potential to save lives.
This review should also encompass a general road safety review in the area including the layout and designs of road junctions and pedestrian crossings along the A167 and A690 and the potential introduction of 20mph limits in residential areas off the A167 and A690.
This is a real chance to show how Durham Council listen to it's residents and leads the way rather than lagging behind other Councils
