A scheme to encourage drivers to stick to the 30mph speed limit in Somerville Drive, Pound Hill, Crawley, will start on Monday October 12.
The £25,300 West Sussex County Council scheme will involve provision of new road markings and signs, narrowing the road to create ‘pinch points’ and improving kerbs along the section of Somerville Drive between Selwyn Close and Balliol Close.
Henry Smith, Leader of the County Council, said: “We are aware of issues concerning road safety in the area, and it is hoped these improvement measures will help put the public’s mind at ease.”
The work is scheduled to take up to three weeks to complete, weather permitting. It will be carried out Monday to Friday, from 9.30am to 5pm, and Saturdays from 7.30am to 1pm.
Temporary two-way traffic lights will be in operation for the duration of the scheme.
On-street parking may also be restricted during the scheme.
