Road Safety in Clifton Road
February 17, 2012 in Newtown
Many parents have spoken to us about their concern that motorists are still speeding along Clifton Road past Newtown Primary School.
Devon County Council is proposing to make some new safety improvements outside the school by raising the road surface level to the pavement to give pedestrians the priority and reducing the speed of vehicles.
It is hoped the same table surface will be laid at the junction of Clifton Street and Belmont Road which will make crossing from the park to Clifton road with children and buggies much safer.
Councillor Richard Branston said, “Speeding down Clifton Road is particularly dangerous due to the amount of school children that cross the road. I am pressing Devon Council for action which we hope will come soon.”
