The back road from Peebles to Walkerburn via Innerleithen (B7062) currently has a temporary 40mph speed limit. It is one of three routes in the Borders designated a 'quiet road' by SBC.
Philippa Gilhooley of SBC is now seeking our thoughts on the permanent introduction of the 40mph speed limit:
- Are you aware of any increase in walking or cycling on the B7062 since the introduction of the Quiet Roads initiative?
- Do you view the 40mph speed limit as beneficial, a waste of money, pointless or are you neutral on the subject?
- Do you think that the 40mph speed limit is being adhered to?
- Do you live along the route?
- Generally, what are your thoughts and views on retaining the 40mph or reverting back to the national speed limit?
If you would like to submit your thoughts please email the Secretary at secretary@ccrbpeebles.co.uk or drop them in at the Eastgate Theatre marked for the attention of Peebles Community Council.
