Redbridge Council has launched a consultation on plans for a 20mph road safety zone across Wanstead Village ward, covering the area between and including Hermon Hill, Hollybush Hill and Cambridge Park.
The proposals also include the installation of signage and road markings, as well as traffic calming measures.
“We are intending to install speed humps on Hollybush Hill, Spratt Hall Road, Nutter Lane, Rutland Road, Grove Park and Elmcroft Avenue. We also intend to install speed cushions on Chigwell Road, Hermon Hill and New Wanstead,” said a spokesperson.
It follows approval for a similar 20mph zone in Wanstead Park ward, covering all roads south of the A12 and north of Wanstead Flats.
If a pedestrian is hit by a vehicle travelling at 20mph, there is a 2.5% chance they will be fatally injured, compared to a 20% chance at 30mph.
The consultation is open until 18 December.
