MVAS Speed Sign - First report

The MVAS speed sign organised by your Parish Council was positioned in Moat Lane between 31st January 2016 to 20th March 2016. It looked first at traffic approaching the village and then at traffic leaving the village. It counts the total number of vehicles approaching the sign and flashes up the speed limit if they are exceeding 35 mph. Just over 15% of vehicles were recorded as exceeding 35 mph.

A brief report summarising the initial results has been compiled and this may be read or downloaded by clicking here.

The sign is being shared with Cheddington. At the moment it has been relocated in Wingrave Road, after which it will probably return to Cheddington for a while.

This sign produces valuable statistical information. It will be augmented soon by a Speed Watch operated by village volunteers that will record more precise information, including video-recording and logging the registrations of speeders.
