East Horsley Parish Council is inviting residents and regular visitors to complete a short online survey to share their views on traffic speeds, road safety concerns, and potential improvements across the village.

East Horsley Parish Council is inviting residents and regular visitors to complete a short online survey to share their views on traffic speeds, road safety concerns, and potential improvements across the village.

This is not a vote on specific changes, but an opportunity to gather general feedback to help identify problem areas and gauge support for possible future measures. Topics include excessive speeds, pedestrian safety, road layouts, and traffic calming options.

Why Take Part?

Your feedback will help the Parish Council:

• Understand road safety concerns across different parts of the village

• Identify priority areas for the next phase of traffic speed monitoring (planned for autumn)

• Consider whether further traffic calming or other safety improvements are needed

• Inform future discussions with Surrey County Council

Phase 1 Speed Survey Findings

In February 2025, the Parish Council carried out Automatic Traffic Counts (ATCs) at 10 locations, based on concerns raised by residents and to complement additional monitoring by Surrey County Council. Highlights include:

A246 (4 sites)

• Most vehicles travelled between 30–40mph; peak volumes were 33–35mph

• 90% of drivers stayed within the speed limit

• Over 50 vehicles per day exceeded 50mph

• Peak speeds exceeded 70mph at all four locations

Previous data from Park Horsley (bottom of the hill) showed average speeds of 46mph, with over 30 vehicles daily exceeding 70mph — some recorded at over 100mph.

Ockham Road North & South (6 sites)

• Most vehicles travelled at 25–30mph

• Average speeds were below 28mph

• 2.9% exceeded 35mph

• 1–2 vehicles per day reached speeds of 50–70mph

Planned Traffic Calming Measures

Some traffic calming works are already planned near Ockham Road North and Station Parade as part of local development agreements funded by Taylor Wimpey. These measures were not proposed by the Parish Council and have received mixed feedback from residents.

The current survey aims to understand whether additional or alternative safety measures are needed elsewhere in the village.

Let’s work together to make East Horsley’s roads safer — your input matters.
