Wigan Roads Get Speed Limit Cut

Wigan’s Tuckers Hill Brow and Meadow Pit Lane are set for a speed limit drop to 40 mph—Tuckers Hill Brow currently has no limit (60 mph) and Meadow Pit Lane recently dropped from 60 to 40 after serious crashes. The move follows persistent cars veering off the road on these winding, sidewalk-free rural routes, despite police reporting only damage-only accidents. A March speed check found an average of 34 mph on Tuckers Hill Brow, meeting council guidelines for lowering limits. Backed by Greater Manchester Police, the change aims to boost safety and consistency. Residents have until June 30 to submit written objections.
