Jersey's St Aubin inner road could have a 25mph limit

A Jersey deputy wants the inner road speed limit set at 25mph

The St Aubin inner road in Jersey could have a speed limit of 25mph in future.

Deputy Mike Higgins wants the limit reduced and said it would make the road safer.

The inner road, running between Lower Park and Mont Felard, is one of the island's busiest roads with more than 14,000 drivers using it daily.

Along the road is a primary school, hundreds of homes, churches, a park and shops.

Deputy Higgins said there were too few designated crossing points.

He said part of the road was very narrow, with a number of "choke points", where crashes have happened in the past.

Deputy Higgins believes many drivers regularly break the existing 30mph limit.

He hopes making the inner road a 25mph zone will make it safer, and encourage more drivers to use Victoria Avenue.
