Cotswold Region Committee is approaching Gloucestershire Region Chamber to make 20mph the default speed limit for towns and towns through the Cotswolds.
Nearby inhabitants need streets to be more secure for walkers and some say drivers consistently go through towns and towns at over two times the 30mph speed limit.
"I've seen a few vehicles who are plainly doing 70mph into the town and the main thing that dials them back is the sharp corner," one inhabitant in Poulton said.
"Speeding is horrible here", they proceeded.
Cllr Jenny Forde, Bureau Part for Wellbeing and Prosperity at Cotswold Area Board said: "I can't resist the urge to believe that our youngsters will be in dismay when they glance back at our affection for vehicles and driving quick at whatever point and any place we like.
"Similar as not wearing safety belts, drink-driving and smoking in broad daylight places. Glancing back at these things, it appears to be mind boggling since we at any point thought this was adequate.
"The basic reality is that on the off chance that you hit a person on foot - they have a lot more prominent shot at enduring if your speed is lower. The danger of a lethal physical issue when hitting a passerby at 40mph is 90% and decreases to 2.5 percent when driving at 20mph."
She proceeded: "Our inhabitants have been yelling about this for such a long time.
"There isn't a town or ward or town in the Cotswolds that doesn't have speeding on their plan at all their board gatherings."
In 2014, a 20mph speed limit was presented across six neighborhood regions in Bristol.
The plans were disputable, with in excess of 8,000 individuals marking an appeal for the plan to be rejected.
In any case, a significant audit in 2019 decided that the speed zones should remain and a review by the College of the West of Britain found 94% of the streets studied had seen a decrease in normal velocities.
Cotswold Locale Board is encouraging Gloucestershire District Chamber, that deals with the streets in the Cotswolds, to consider executing a comparative plan.
Accordingly, Gloucestershire Province Committee said its thoughts are not finished yet there are designs set up to acquaint some 20mph cutoff points with lessen speeding.
It said they will be presented 'dependent upon the situation' instead of all through the Cotswolds.
A board representative said this would best serve neighborhood needs.
