The speed limit has been lowered on more than a dozen roads in St. Clement.
New signs have been put up on numerous roads in the southwestern parish advising motorists of lower speed limits.
91% of the 219 islanders that responded to government consultations, held last August and September, said they supported reducing the speed limits on the roads to make them safer.
The majority of the changes - which take effect today (22 March) are from 30mph zones to 20mph and are focused in areas near schools and where people live.
The roads with new speed limits are:
- La Rue de Causie,
