Vehicle Activated Signs

The Town Council has invested in eight vehicle activated signs in key speed locations across the town during 2022 and 2023. This was in response to community concerns in those locations, with particular consideration to reducing speed, improving the safety for young people on the road and reassuring community partners.

The project forms part of the Town Council’s corporate objectives to support the reduction of anti-social driving and the council’s ‘building a better community together’ initiative.

Our aim is to change people’s driving behaviour by reminding them of the speed limit, encouraging them to slow down and ultimately to drive more safely. The data from the signs will enable the Town Council and partners to consider future targeted approaches
