Love at First Sign

Showing Lauren the new sign
(we had to wait until a speeding car went past)

I know I have posted before about variable speed sign but I'm absolutely over the moon that the two signs I recently campaigned for have now finally been installed on Marshside Road and Fylde Road. And I'm delighted to say they are both working well flashing away like billy-oh at drivers going over 30mph on these roads.

I especially like the one on Marshide Road since, as there are no street lights where it is located, it flashes like this great beacon in the darkness which I think probably gives the drivers a bit of a shock !

Taking action to make Fylde Road safer.

Residents of Fylde Road have welcomed the news that a sign warning drivers of their speed will be installed on this busy road. This follows action by local councillor Sue McGuire.

As Sue explains; "Speeding traffic has been a problem here for many years and even though there have been two serious accidents involving pedestrians the council say it does not meet the necessary criteria for them to take action so I decided to take action myself. I looked at other options to make the road safer and I believe that this sign will make a difference although I will still be pushing for a fully operational toucan crossing.
