Public consultation will be held on plans to introduce 74 traffic management zones across East Renfrewshire over a five-year period.
Zones designed to reduce “unnecessary through traffic” — which would include cutting speed limits to 20mph — are set to be rolled out across East Renfrewshire.
A report on the planned ‘neighbourhood traffic management zones’ will go before East Renfrewshire Council’s cabinet next week. Councillors will be asked to approve the proposed approach and a two-stage ‘East Ren Decides’ engagement process. The aim of the zones would be to “reduce unnecessary through traffic in areas that would benefit from a lower volume of motor vehicles”. Across East Renfrewshire, 74 zones could be rolled out over a five-year period, subject to funding.
“Firstly, it directly improves the safety of all users of the public realm. Secondly, an increase in journey time can discourage drivers from using residential streets as a shortcut on their route, effectively redirecting traffic to the desired corridors.”
