A272 Buxted to Hadlow Down 50mph Speed Limit - Formal Consultation

Overview

It is proposed to introduce a speed limit of 50mph on the A272 between the Buxted 40mph speed limit and the Hadlow Down 30mph speed limit. This section of the A272 was identified as a priority in the first year of the Speed Management Programme.

Initial consultations have been carried out. Based on the feedback received, we are now formally advertising the proposed change to the speed limit.
