Speed limits are dropping across 68 roads in St. Saviour from today.
40 will have their speed limit reduced to 30 miles per hour, and 28 will be reduced to 20 miles per hour.
Just under half of the speed limit changes are in the area of schools and community centres.
It follows a consultation held in July 2019, which asked islanders for their views on a Road Safety Action Plan.
St. Saviour Constable Sadie Le Sueur-Rennard added: “Ensuring the safety of Parishioners and schoolchildren in our community within St. Saviour is important to me. That is why I am committed to delivering the Speed Limit Review which primarily focuses on reducing the Speed limit in School areas.
"Precisely 43% of the speed limit changes on Parish roads are within vicinities of schools, Community centres and nurseries.
“The Road Committee’s aim is to encourage parishioners and children to walk to school, promoting a safer environment and a more attractive walking route for children and to make roads safer within schools and urban areas. Reducing speed limits in such areas will help keep children safe.”
Infrastructure Minister Deputy Kevin Lewis said: “I appreciate such changes may take time to get used to, I ask motorists and road users to observe the new signs and familiarise themselves with the changes."
It follows speed limits dropping across nearly 60 roads in St. Helier.
