North Watford Labour county councillor Asif Khan pictured inside the new 20mph zone in Leggatts Wood Avenue A 20mph zone has been introduced across a neighbourhood following a campaign from councillors. The new speed limit has been implemented in several roads in North Watford after residents requested measures to stop speeding in the area. The previously 30mph residential streets can often be used as a rat-run by drivers avoiding congestion in St Albans Road. County councillor Asif Khan and borough councillor Richard Smith secured the backing of Hertfordshire County Council and the police in 2019 for a 20mph zone following a speeding survey funded by Cllr Khan s locality budget.
