Conditions were good – mostly dry – and warm
This analysis period is entirely within the school summer holiday period.
It is not widely recognised (by people outside the village) that we get nearly 20,000 traffic movements a week along this road.
The position of the SID pole is at the bottom of the hill, where it can be difficult to keep speeds below 30mph (without “riding the brakes”), however, the fact that 1 in 3 vehicles exceeds 35mph at this point is clearly unacceptable in a built-up area.
We have now turned the device round to record traffic approaching the hill from Canford Bottom.
