Bath & North East Somerset Council is consulting on proposals to change the speed limit along stretches of the A368 between Marksbury and Ubley, where 53 collisions have been recorded in the past ten years.   

The proposals aim to improve the safety of the A368 by introducing speed limits that better reflect the hazards of the road, which passes through villages, has narrow sections and sharp bends.

Potential changes outlined in the proposal include reducing a 50mph speed limit to 40mph in non-residential areas, reducing a 40mph speed limit to 30mph for approaches to residential areas, and reducing the speed limit from 30mph to 20mph in residential areas.

More information on the proposed changes, including an interactive map, can be found here:

Bath & North East Somerset Council will consider the feedback to this proposal before making the final decision about whether to implement the changes.
