Parts of the A329 and A327 are set to go down to a 30 mile per hour speed limit to improve safety.
Wokingham Borough Council has published a number of speed limit changes and parking restrictions it plans to introduce across the borough.
Executive member for active travel, transport and highways Martin Alder is set to make a decision on each change on May 2.
The council wants to formally introduce a 30mph speed limit along parts of the A329 Reading Road in Winnersh and Wokingham, as well as London Road.
This speed limit could also be introduced for Hollow Lane in Shinfield, the A327 Arborfield Road in Shinfield, Bearwood Road in Barkham, the A327 Reading Road, New Mill Lane and Park Lane in Finchampstead.
A report says these restrictions are ‘necessary and expedient to avoid danger to persons or other traffic using these roads.
A consultation on the changes received dozens of letters of support and few objections.
One supporter of the change on the A327 Reading Road: “Having lived on this road for 28 years and seen numerous accidents including fatalities I am delighted to hear the proposal of the long overdue speed limit.”
Another resident said she ‘worries for the safety of my daughter to cross this road several times a day’.
The slower speeds are ‘crucial’ to ensure better safety for pedestrians and cyclists, the report says.
The council also wants to introduce a 40mph speed limit to a section of Toutley Road and Longdon Road in Winnersh.
These roads currently have a 30mph speed limit which the council says is ‘not reflective of the road’s function’.
“Increasing the limit to 40mph brings it in line with the road’s physical design and typical driving behaviours, promoting consistency for road users,” a report says.
Double yellow lines are also being proposed for a number of roads across the borough.
These are Blackthorne Close, Mays Lane, Sheperd’s House Lane, Rushey Way, Colleton Drive, Greenacres Avenue and Hart Dyke Close.
Other locations proposed are Fishponds Road, London Road, Murray Road, Fairwater Drive and Rowan Drive.
The council wants to introduce single yellow lines at Dunaways Close, Mill Lane, Sheperd’s House Lane, Caroline Drive and St Helier Close.
Finally, there are plans for a no stopping at a school entrance marking on Easthampstead Road, Goodchild Road, School Road and Seaford Road.
These have all been requested by residents about councillors to improve road safety and reduce traffic.
Executive member for active travel, transport and highways Martin Alder is set to make a final decision on May 2.
