Council considers lowering the A61 limit after three members of a Ukrainian family died.
A stretch of road near Harrogate may have its speed limit lowered after a Ukrainian family of three died in a car crash in September.
Daria Bartienieva, 35, her son Ihor Bartieniev, six, and stepdaughter Anastasiia Bartienieva, 15, were all killed on the A61 near South Stainley.The family were survived by a 15-year-old girl who was not in the car.The road, a key route connecting Ripon and Harrogate, has faced multiple incidents, and Skipton and Ripon MP Julian Smith said that he recently met with 20 residents to hear their concerns.
Mr Duncan said the council was currently undertaking speed surveys on the road and a "broader package of improvement measures" could be brought to the public for consultation soon."The safety of the travelling public is our key priority, and we endeavour to make the county's roads as safe as possible."
Mr Smith said that, while fundraising for the teenager had been "astonishingly generous", accidents like that must not happen again and he and the council were "continuing to look for a solution".
