Please can you tell me if the Highways explained why they felt Weston would not be suitable for speed activated signs?

Hi Martyne

Thank you for the enquiry on the PC minutes. Yes, I accompanied highways to discuss the matter, they felt there was not enough traffic to warrant a Vehicle Activated Sign - they class it as a C route, they are generally installed on a A or B routes where the volume of vehicles is higher.

In addition to that, there would not be a suitable place to install the sign, the verges and line of the road would not allow room for the VAS before the Grayling Lane junction - which was the concern raised by the PC.

We have however, secured the installation of white gates, these keep the rural nature of the village but let drivers know that they are entering a community. Where they have been installed in other locations surveys have shown a reduction in the average speed after installation. The work will be scheduled in April.

Kind regards
