We asked

Buckinghamshire Highways originally proposed to introduce a 30mph speed limit along the B474 Penn Road, Knotty Green from the junction with Clay Street / Witheridge Lane in a southerly direction to the existing 30mph terminal signs, for a length of 1.3 miles.

You said

From the number of responses received, majority of those supported the proposal (86.76%).

We did

Following the consultation, Buckinghamshire Highways presented its findings to Buckinghamshire Council with the recommendation to introduce a 30mph speed limit, but only for the section between the pub 'The Lion of Beaconsfield' (formerly the Red Lion), in a south - easterly direction towards the existing 30mph terminal signs, for a distance of 0.73 miles.

A formal decision from the Council was received on 13th March 2025, which you can find the decision here: Decision - Revision - B474 Speed limit into Beaconsfield from Clay Street (Knotty Green) (Decision to be taken) - Modern Council

Buckinghamshire Highways is currently awaiting implementation dates from its contractor before the Traffic Regulation Order is introduced.

Overview

It is proposed to reduce the speed limit along a section of Penn Road, Beaconsfield from the current 40mph to a proposed 30mph Speed limit, from the junction with Penn Green (existing change from 30mph to 40mph) for approximately 2km to a point just west of Clay Street.
