A blanket 30mph speed limit is set to be imposed on the whole of Edgmond after several incidents on the patch.
It was revealed this week the village could become a 30mph area by the autumn.
After months of campaigning, the parish council secured a deal with the Highways Department at Telford & Wrekin Council to enforce the new rules. The village currently has areas of 30mph, 40mph and the national speed limit.
But those limits were deemed unenforcible and “confusing” by the parish council.
Now any vehicle coming off the B5062 will be hit with a 30mph limit.
Edgmond Parish Council clerk, Katrina Baker, said the different speed limits were causing more trouble with drivers and police who were trying to enforce the rules.
She said: “This is not only confusing, but difficult to police. We have worked closely with Telford & Wrekin Council officers to highlight the concerns of local residents and road-users.
Mrs Baker added because of the “many accidents” in recent months, and in addition to the new speed limit, the Highways Department are also set to introduce further measures to calm speed on roads in Edgmond.
This includes a Toucan crossing opposite Harper Adams which is set to be in place by September.
With a number of Harper Adams students having accidents on the road, the college and the police also threw their weight behind the scheme.
The move could also set a trend for other villages with Church Aston Parish Council deputy chairman, Councillor Brian Richards, confirming they would like to go one step further and turn the village into a 20mph zone.
Councillor Richards said there are certain areas which need restrictions and added the police have already carried out a survey, which backs their claim.
He said: “We have been trying to get a reduction to 20mph in Church Aston for some time but the response we got from the Highways Department has not been very positive.
“There are a lot of cars that just park on the road and with school children there, it could really do with a 20mph blanket in the village.”
The scheme has already proved a hit in villages such as Lilleshall which has always had a 30mph zone.
Lilleshall and Donnington Parish Councillor Andrew Baker said: “Speeding has been some what of an issue in the village but we have always had 30mph here and overall there has not been to much trouble.”
Forton Parish Council chairman, Councillor Bill Kenning, said the council is currently undertaking a review of speeding cars with a view to possibly look at speed limit changes.
