Winter speed limits return to Guernsey coast roads

The States of Guernsey changes the speed limit on coastal roads seasonally

Seasonal speed limits on Guernsey's coastal roads have been reintroduced.

The change comes into force from Tuesday with coast roads Route De La Laque, Vazon, and Route De Rocquaine changing from 25mph to 35mph (40km/h to 56km/h) until 31 May next year.

The speed limit is reduced during the summer months to make the coastal roads safer for pedestrians visiting beaches.

The States of Guernsey said the summer one-way restriction in the section between Petit Bot Tearooms and Les Pages would be removed with traffic flowing in both directions.

It also said parking on the land side at South Esplanade and La Vallette, on the seaward side, would change from two-hour parking to 10-hour parking.

The States said 12 beaches on Guernsey and Herm have also reopened for winter dog walking.
