Upcoming Installation of Speed Indicator Device (SID) in Lynton & Lynmouth

 

Lynton & Lynmouth Town Council are to install a Speed Indicator Device (SID) to help improve road safety in our community.

 

Locations:

The SID will rotate between three locations:

• Fountains Cross
• Countisbury Hill
• Barbrook (Caffyns side)

 

How It Works:

This Vehicle Activated Sign (VAS) has been provided by Devon County Council, with L&L Town Council responsible for its maintenance. The device will display the speed of approaching vehicles and provide real-time feedback:

• A green smiley face for vehicles driving within the speed limit

• A red frowning face for those exceeding the limit

 

Data Collection:

The SID will record licence plates, speed, time, and date of every passing vehicle. This data will be shared with L&L Town Council to monitor traffic speeds and support road safety measures in the area.

 

 

 

As of Thursday 1st May, the Speed Indicor Device is stituated at Fountains Cross.
