National Highways are proposing speed management changes at six different locations in the eastern region, on the A47, A5 and A120 with a cost of around £5 million.

A total of 118 reported injury collisions were recorded on the A47 Peterborough to Kings Lynn route over a 5-year period, with 234 casualties.

One of these locations is the A47 between the A15 Parkway roundabout and the first roundabout at Thorney which will see a speed limit of 50mph with three sets of average speed enforcement cameras so each section can be monitored independently:

• Welland Road roundabout to Little Wood roundabout
• Little Wood roundabout to Crowland Road roundabout
• Crowland Road roundabout to Oversley Lodge (Thorney) roundabout.

The A16 between Crowland and Spalding and the A605 between Stanground and Whittlesey are two examples where average speed camera’s are already used locally.

A formal consultation will start late autumn 2024, this will last a minimum of 21 days. Work is expected to start on the wider scheme spring 2025.
