Easter Traffic Stats on London Road Shrewton 67,030!!!!

OK! we're aware that figures are boring - for some anyway, and certainly these don't make good reading!!   Here are the stats from our Speed Indicator Devices (SIDs) for the 15 days during Easter.   So, let me break it down for you.......The figures are in both directions admittedly, and on just one of the four entry/exits to our village of Shrewton......67,030 vehicles used London Road and for the accountants among us, they will have already worked out that's an average of 4403.4 vehicles per day with a max speed of 78 mph on the 15th April!!!!!!!    People are living on this stretch of our village and have no pavement or safe way of walking down into the village including a left hand bend, just to shop get to the doctor and other services!   Fortunately, the school was closed during this period otherwise, there could have been carnage!



















And......there are those who would want to derail the project to fix the A303 past Stonehenge - for fear of disturbing "hitherto undiscovered archaeology" but.....what about us, the living who are subjected to these increasing traffic figures on a daily basis.....the proof is here and it doesn't need to be dug up!!

Sadly, we've had a little look at the figures again for 30th April, and have to report a max speed of
83 mph east bound (going out of the village) - passing the houses on the right and a max speed of 52 mph west bound (coming into the village)
