Change the speed limit in Wraysbury Road, Wraysbury from 40 m

We the undersigned petition the Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead to Change the speed limit in Wraysbury Road, Wraysbury from 40 m.p.h. to 30 m.p.h., install speed camera(s) and zebra crossings to ensure that drivers adhere to a safer speed limit and pedestrians have a safe place to cross the road to access the bus stops so that a further death of a pedestrian can be avoided.

Recently most of our neighbours came out to help having heard the catastrophic sounds of a pedestrian who was mowed down by a vehicle travelling at significant speed. The driver failed to stop. The pedestrian sustained extensive injuries that despite the emergency services battling vigorously to save their life they died at the scene.
This is a residential road with a large proportion of residents having young children. It has no safe place to cross the road and it is difficult to also access, exit and park your car safely.
There are no zebra crossings, nor speed cameras or speed reducing bumps. The speed limit at the border with Surrey County Council is 30 m.p.h. The significant increase in the volume of cars, many having come off the M25, speed at over 50 m.p.h. Residents, in particular children and elders, are at risk of their lives.
Another accident or fatality must not happen before action is taken.
This is avoidable by RBWM reducing the speed to 30 m.p.h., installing speed cameras and a zebra crossing.
Please support this petition so that we can avoid a repeat and protect our lives and those of our loved ones.
