The Comite des Connetables has agreed a framework against which speed limits will be reviewed and standardised across the Island. We want Jersey’s roads to be enjoyed by everyone.
Managing the speed of traffic helps other road users feel safer and encourages
people to walk and cycle. This is especially important for those travelling to and
from school.
Speed limits are set according to a framework that provides consistency across our
Island. We are in the process of reviewing all speed limits across the Island against
this framework.
40 miles per hour
| The all-Island maximum speed limit is 40mph, or
30mph for vehicles over 3.5T or towing a trailer
|
|---|
30 miles per hour
| All roads in the urban or built up area should be
subject to a 30mph speed limit,
with extensions into rural areas where
appropriate
|
|---|
20 miles per hour
| - Village centres, typically where people might be
walking between a church, a Parish Hall, a shop
or a pub, for example, should be 20mph
- Tourist bays where pedestrian and cycle movements
are likely to be high should be 20mph
- Part-time 20mph zones may be
signed around schools, at times
when children are present
|
|---|
15 miles per hour
| Green Lanes have a 15mph speed limit.
Motorised vehicles should give priority
to pedestrians, cyclists, and horses at
all times
