SID data from Middlehill Road

April 2013

This is the summary analysis of the data collected from our Speed Indicator Device from a recent week-long recent stint on the post in Middlehill Road.  It shows a worrying disregard for the speed limit.  The 74mph incident was recorded in the early hours of the morning (1.48am), which at least meant that there was unlikely to be anybody about to be endangered.

The device was situated by the junction between the top end of Bridleway – just before Middlehill Road turns into Canford Bottom opposite Hayes Lane.   It’s at the bottom of the hill – recording traffic travelling towards Ferndown.
The analysis period spanned the Easter weeked and the reduced traffic, particularly on the Friday and Monday, is noticable.  Also the whole period was during the school holidays, so no schools traffic here.
