Traffic Calming Measures
SPEED INDICATOR DEVICES (SIDs) DATA
As part of the Traffic Calming Measures in the village centre, two Speed Indicator Devices ("SIDs") are alternated around three locations, into and out of the village, to record speed and number of vehicles travelling through.
The locations are:
- Goudhurst Road – in and out (east/west)
- Brenchley Road – in and out (east/west)
- Lamberhurst Road – in (south to north)
The purpose of the SIDs is to encourage drivers to slow down as they enter the village should they be travelling above the speed limit.
The Council has recently decided to regularly publish the data for residents in the parish who are interested in this matter.
The data gathered from the devices will therefore be added approximately twice a month, depending on when the data is received.
This site includes data for the past six months. Should you require older data, please contact the Clerk with specific dates and the information will be supplied to you.
This data forms part of traffic information to help support traffic calming measures into the future.
IT SHOULD BE NOTED that the data is an indicative tool intended for the purpose of speed education and reduction and is not completely accurate and that should any developer use it as part of a planning application, they should disclose that the data is not entirely accurate.
(NOTE: Due to the format of the data, it does not currently meet Government accessibility regulations.)
