Action Group Campaign440
- Kevin Jenkins send them a message
Action Group Campaign440 has been launched to persuade the council in the Isle of Wight to implement a maximum speed limit of 40mph, in line with the limit in Jersey. The council is about to start a review of road safety and road speeds across the IOW.
Kevin Jenkins, Campaign 440 organiser, says: "With very similar roads and roughly the same mileage of roads, Jersey's 40mph limit is believed to have brought the death rate down to an average of just a couple per year. The IOW - even when allowing for the population difference - is roughly twice as high."
