As a result of this review, the route from Fleckney to Wigston has been identified to have a total number of accidents above the national average. Therefore, in order to increase general safety and reduce the accident rate, the County Council proposes to reduce the speed limit from 60mph to 50mph. An additional section through Wistow, at the Kibworth Road approach to Wistow crossroads is proposed to be reduced from 60mph to 40mph.
