20mph speed limits and zones

We use 20mph speed limits and zones to help reduce the risk of death and serious injury on Swindon’s roads.

Our approach to safer speeds

Our Road Safety Strategy uses the Safe System approach. It aims to prevent deaths and serious injuries through five areas of action.

One of these areas is ‘safe speeds’. Lower speeds can reduce the severity of injuries caused by road traffic collisions.

We have also approved a 20mph schemes policy

Find existing 20mph limits and zones

Use the TraffWeb map to find:

  • existing 20mph speed limits and zones
  • other traffic restrictions on Swindon’s road network

Suggest an area for a 20mph scheme

If you think a residential area may be suitable for a 20mph scheme, contact your local ward councillors

Changing a speed limit requires an amendment to a Traffic Regulation Order. Find out more about Traffic Regulation Orders
