A series of speed limit reductions will be introduced in a Norfolk town centre later this month.
There is currently a 20 mile per hour zone in St Nicholas Street, Diss, but work will take place towards the end of September to extend that to another three streets in the area.
Denmark Street, Roydon Road and Shelfanger Road will see its speed limit reduced from 30 to 20.
Temporary traffic lights will be erected to facilitate the installation of new signposts and to paint roundels onto the carriageway.
It is expected to cost approximately £10,000 and will be carried out by Norfolk County Council’s Infrastructure Department and its contractors.
The speed limit reductions around Diss town centre was put forward by the council back in May to make it safer for pedestrians.
Officers said: "The proposal to make the order is made because it appears to the county council that it is expedient to do so for avoiding danger to persons or other traffic using the road or any other road or for preventing the likelihood of any such danger arising."
