Wokingham Borough Council has identified five initial areas for proposed lower speed limits as part of its road safety improvement programme, and is now seeking public views.

Following a consultation period between 2nd March and 2nd May 2026, where residents were asked to prioritise roads for safety improvements, the council has pinpointed five key locations. These areas are proposed for the introduction of lower speed limits.
The proposed locations include Silverdale Road in Earley, a suburban residential neighbourhood. Additionally, proposals cover Wokingham town centre and Norreys Avenue, an area combining town centre and residential zones. The village centres of Twyford and Finchampstead, along with rural roads in Hare Hatch, are also included in the plans.
Further details regarding the process, including maps and the survey, are available on the Wokingham Borough Council's engagement portal. The public consultation survey is open until 9 November 2026.
