In a proactive move to enhance road safety, the South Kilvington Parish Council has taken a commendable step by purchasing a Vehicle Activated Sign (VAS). Installed in March 2024, this initiative is part of a broader campaign to mitigate speeding within the village, a concern that resonates with many communities nationwide.
The VAS is designed to alert drivers who exceed the speed limit, encouraging them to slow down by displaying their current speed and a reminder of the legal limit. This technology serves as both a deterrent and an educational tool, contributing to a safer environment for all village residents.
Moreover, the South Kilvington Parish Council's support of the "20 is plenty" campaign aligns with a growing movement advocating for lower speed limits in residential areas. This campaign, which has seen endorsements from various organisations and government bodies, aims to establish 20mph as the default speed limit in such zones, recognising the significant benefits it brings in terms of safety and quality of life.
The council's efforts reflect a commitment to not only enforcing speed regulations but also fostering a culture of mindful driving. With these measures, South Kilvington is setting an example for villages and towns alike, prioritising the well-being of its inhabitants and paving the way for more sustainable and community-focused traffic management strategies.
