Speed Awareness
The following information has been gathered from three speed signs situated on Dunholme Road, Main Street and Sudbrooke Road. The sign on Main Street has only been recording data since May 2023.
Number of vehicles
The following chart shows the number of vehicles entering and exiting the village during the period recorded on each road.
Speed of Vehicles (MPH)
The speed signs consistently show that during 2023 98% of incoming vehicles and 97% of outgoing vehicles on Dunholme road record speeds of less than 40 miles per hour. On Sudbrooke Road the speed sign shows that between 90% and 99% of incoming vehicles and between 86% and 96% of outgoing vehicles record speeds of less than 40 miles per hour. Information for Main Street is available from July 2023.
The following charts show the number of vehicles recording speeds exceeding 50 miles per hour and 70 miles per hour on Sudbrooke Road where the greatest number of drivers exceed these speed limits.
The final chart shows the maximum speeds recorded in the period of vehicles entering and exiting the village from all three speed cameras during 2023.
In order to help reduce speeding in the Village the Parish Council has established a speed awareness scheme. A group of volunteers from the village who have been trained on the use of a hand speed gun by Lincolnshire police meet to carry out speed checks throughout the year. We are always looking for more volunteers
