Traffic speeds on Ewelme Road are relatively reasonable according the the figures from the council, with the 85th percentile below 21mph in both directions. It does have more traffic than most residential roads, although less than Tyson Road or Devonshire Road which both have slightly higher traffic speeds as well as more cars (but without the semi-blind corner at the top of Ewleme).

The roads with the highest speeds were Waldenshaw Road, Manor Mount (travelling the wrong way), Ringmore Rise and Dunoon Road (which has quite large humps). The figures from the council do suggest that there is not a problem of speeding in Ewleme and most other road, except for the occasional nutter which no calming measures will prevent.

Honor Oak Road has no additional calming measures proposed and was always to be excluded from the 20mph zone. The plans do nothing to further reduce traffic speeds on this road. The 20mph zone will not add any further enforcement (beyond the existing humps) to Ewelme/Tyson/Dunoon/Benson/Devonshire, so I see no reason why the 20mph zone will have any effect on traffic speeds on roads other than Waldenshaw, Manor Mount and David's Road.

I'm pleased that the council will address the issues on the roads with the highest traffic speeds and it is good that the council is now turning their attention to roads with more serious speeding problems, such as Church Rise, Westbourne Park, and Cranston Road where their previous imposition of a 20mph zone has done little to reduce speeds, and has made some roads more dangerous, with cars swerving to avoid humps.
