Decision details

To introduce dragons’ teeth ahead of the existing two village gateway features

For avoiding danger to persons or other traffic using the road or any other or for preventing the likelihood of any such danger arising.

Rumble strips were originally considered appropriate but following feasibility design this is not possible due to the topography and distance of the village gateways from dwellings. Following consultation, yellow bar marking has also been ruled out due to similar noise concerns from adjacent residents.

The Parish Meetings long-term aim is to reduce the speed limit through the village, however current vehicle speeds are too high, and a speed assessment is unlikely to be successful.

The Parish Meeting considered all types of traffic calming measures before the commission was commenced.
