Thankfully we haven’t had too many serious road accidents (aka avoidable collisions) around Malvern in the few years I’ve been here. However a cyclist was recently hit by a second car after being in collision with a right turning vehicle coming out of Albert Park Road on to Worcester Road (See Malvern Gazette news item)
A letter responding to this proposes we should follow the lead of Portsmouth, and other residential areas, in considering a general 20 mph limit. If we want to encourage more people to cycle and walk rather than use the car then lower traffic speeds helps, and the CTC is looking into promoting this around the country. Hopefully more soon.
