MOVEABLE VEHICLE ACTIVATED SIGNS

The Parish Council has bought and installed 2 speed signs in the village. The positioning was organised by the North Yorkshire Traffic Engineer whose advice we were required to follow as part of the agreement allowing us to have signs in the village.

The signs are equiped with datalogging so we can produce traffic reports that we will publish here.

The signs are battery powered - the battery is changed every 4-6 weeks and the signs turned 180 degrees. This again is part of the agreed process we have to follow. Currently two members of the Parish Council look after these signs. If anyone wishes to volunteer to help then please speak to Dr Ian Jackson. 

 

A summary of the traffic speed trends observed across reports from May 2023 to July 2025, focusing on Alne Road and Newton Road:

    • More consistently high with 500–900 vehicles/month exceeding 40 mph in 2023.
    • This dropped to ~60–100 in 2025 (when sign was facing leaving traffic) but remained high (600–700) when facing incoming traffic, e.g. April & June 2025.

3. Vehicles at 50+ mph

  • Rare on both roads, typically 0–4/month, with occasional peaks:
