Drivers in East Sussex could see new speed limits on some roads as part of a £500,000 safety scheme.
Work has already begun on measures to slow down traffic, with 16 roads prioritised by East Sussex County Council for speed limit reductions or measures to make the existing speed limit more effective.
The work on the B2087 in Flimwell, the A272 in Hadlow Down and the A275 in Danehill is "designed to improve compliance with the existing 30mph speed limits".
The council confirmed that no 20mph speed limits are proposed for the 16 sites.
The programme proposes a number of speed limit reductions on A and B class roads, including the introduction of new 30mph, 40mph and 50mph speed limits.
Public consultations on the introduction of speed limit reductions at 13 other locations across the county are due to begin in the New Year.
These schemes will be implemented over the first two years of the council's three-year speed management programme, the council said.
Further sites will be assessed and prioritised, with changes introduced in future years.
Claire Dowling, the council's lead member for transport and environment, said: "The council has done a great deal of work in recent years to change driver behaviour and make East Sussex roads safer."
