TANKERSLEY Parish Council is driving forward in its efforts to improve road safety.
The council has agreed to purchase two speed indicator devices which highlight the driver’s speed if they are close to or over the 30mph speed limit in residential areas.
Chairman Helen Reckless said: “Speed indicator devices (SIDs) measure the speed of a passing vehicle and display it to the driver. We have agreed the purchase of two of these devices for the Tankersely area as soon as possible.”
The units cost £1,913 each and the council wants to buy two which can be placed strategically at two of the five major entrances to Tankersley to monitor vehicles’ speed as they enter the village.
