20mph speed limit programme
Kingston Council is currently discussing traffic calming measures and speed data accuracy as part of its borough-wide 20mph speed limit programme.
In November 2026, Kingston's South of the Borough Neighbourhood Committee approved installing Speed Indicator Devices, speed cushions, and speed tables in various locations, subject to local engagement. This decision was made during discussions on the council's borough-wide 20mph speed limit programme, where a resident questioned the accuracy of speed data collected on Mount Road in July 2026.
The speed data for Mount Road indicated average speeds of 22.4mph northbound and 22.3mph southbound, with 85th percentile speeds of 27.7mph and 27mph. The committee noted progress on the overall 20mph speed limit programme, which is a council-wide initiative to implement lower speed limits across the borough.
