East Dunbartonshire Council is set to introduce new traffic calming measures on Newdyke Road in Kirkintilloch.
A survey of traffic levels and speeds on Newdyke Road carried out by East Dunbartonshire Council found that some drivers were exceeding the speed limit.
The Council will now introduce two flat top speed tables at the junction of Newdyke Road and Newdyke Avenue, and the junction of Newdyke Road and Ivanhoe Drive, in order to reduce vehicle speeds in a residential area close to Hillhead Primary School and enhance pedestrian and road safety.
As a result of the installation of a speed table at the junction of Newdyke Road and Newdyke Avenue an existing speed cushion on Newdyke Avenue will be removed.
Councillor Susan Murray, Vice Convener of the Council's Place, Neighbourhood & Corporate Assets Committee, said, "The Council takes road safety concerns extremely seriously and the introduction of these speed bumps is aimed at reducing risk to pedestrians and other road users from speeding drivers.
"We hope the traffic management measures will have a positive effect on driver behaviour on Newdyke Road and that these measures will make the area around the school safer for children walking to school."
The Council did not receive any objections to the proposals when they were advertised earlier this year.
