Double yellows and 20mph limit for main estate roads TRAFFIC curbs and a ban on parking are planned for the main route through Lyde Green to make the estate safer. South Gloucestershire Council has unveiled proposals for a 20mph speed limit on Jenner Boulevard and Willowherb Road. It will also apply to Honeysuckle Road, Acorn Drive and Newlands Lane as well as to the first 10 metres of side roads including Apple Grove, Cherry Banbks, Daisy Walk, Gentian Close, Hawthorn Way, Lilac Drive, Lupin Close, Marigold Close, Pear Tree Way, Pennycress Close, Sunflower Road, Thistle Close and Valerian Street. Residents have been consulted by the council about the plans, which are said to be “to ensure the unimpeded movement of vehicles on those roads and in so doing improve road safety for all road users”. Some people living on the estate have expressed concerns that without parked cars on the route drivers will go even faster.
