Roundel signs coming for Swiss Cottage 20mph zone

Some good news. Roger Freeman has secured funding from Camden in the current financial year to get roundel signs on the road to signal better the Gardens area 20mph zone.

This came up at a number of recent meetings such as the Area Forum, with people feeling that the 20mph zone - installed after resident consultation in 2006-7 - was insufficiently signed for drivers.

The Finchley Road end of Canfield and Goldhurst will the top priorities. There may also be money for intrazone ones, eg Goldhurst when cars turn in from Fairhazel, and in Goldhurst and Canfield half way between Finchley and Fairhazel.

Let's hope these roundel signs do have some real impact on reducing drivers' speeds in the Gardens area. We'll keep a close eye once they are painted.
