Speeding in the village – May 2020 update

The SAM2 monitor transferred to Langley-with-Hardley this morning.  It comes back to Claxton on 1 September.

The location in May was the 30MPH repeater post on The Warren, facing towards the Manor and Rockland St Mary.  We have downloaded the statistics for the month and these are shown below.

Chart showing speed percentagesThe first thing to note is the overall number of vehicles going south through the village during a month when lockdown was partially eased.  The total was double that for April and roughly two-thirds of a “normal” month.

The findings themselves are slightly disappointing, with 620 vehicles passing this point at a speed of 36 MPH or above.  2 in every 11 of the total was also in the “just above” bracket of 31-35 MPH, with 3 out of every 4 vehicles abiding by the 30MPH speed limit, as in April.

Our regular Parish Council meetings will have this issue on the agenda for our next virtual meeting in July.  Please check this site for any news if you wish to feed in to this or any other item.
