Speeding
Kingston upon Thames is installing traffic calming measures to address speeding, following recent speed data collection in the borough.
Kingston upon Thames' South of the Borough Neighbourhood Committee approved the installation of Speed Indicator Devices, speed cushions, and speed tables in November 2026. This decision addresses concerns about vehicles exceeding speed limits in various locations and is part of the council's 20mph speed limit programme, subject to local engagement.
The approval followed a discussion where a resident questioned speed data collected in July 2026 on Mount Road. This data, gathered during school term time, indicated average speeds of 22.4mph northbound and 22.3mph southbound, with 85th percentile speeds of 27.7mph and 27mph respectively.
