A total of 20 roads across Chadwell Heath could have their speed limits reduced to 20mph to provide "safer conditions".
Barking and Dagenham Council proposes to implement a 20mph speed limit on the surrounding roads of the Heath Road Estate as well as a 7.5 tonnes vehicle weight restriction.
The roads are Back Lane, Bennett Road, Broomfield Road, Burlington Gardens, Cecil Road, Eric Road, Eustace Road, Farrance Road, Heath Road, Junction Road East, Junction Road West, Kenneth Road, Merten Road, Morden Road, Plantagenet Gardens, Plantagenet Place, St Chads Gardens, St Chads Road, Wadeville Avenue, Woodlands Avenue.
Barking and Dagenham Council's website has a statement of reason which reads: "The introduction of a 20mph speed limit is intended to reduce vehicle speeds throughout the area and create safer conditions for all road users, particularly pedestrians, cyclists, school pupils, and vulnerable residents.
"Evidence shows that lower traffic speeds significantly reduce both the likelihood and severity of collisions."
Objections and representations can be made in writing stating the grounds on which they are made and sent for the attention of The Parking and Environmental Design Team to the address below, within 21 days from the date of publication of the notice or by visiting Barking and Dagenham Council's website quoting reference 10682 - Heath Road Estate.
