Vehicle Active Signs
As part of a community priority to promote road safety, the Council deploys 4 Vehicle Activated Signs:
- two 30mph SLOW DOWN
- two 40mph SLOW DOWN
- between 8 sites at 6 locations (2 both ways) in Seamer and Crossgates
Vehicle Activated Signs (VAS) enhance speed awareness raising, monitoring and enforcement within the Council's area through:
- the Council’s quiet lane signage gateways at each end of Long Lane in Seamer and Crossgates.
- the Council’s Community Speed Watch at Police approved sites in Crossgates.
- Police safety camera vehicle enforcement on Main Street and Ayton Road, Seamer.
- proactive static enforcement by local Police Officers in Seamer and Crossgates.
The VAS are moved between sites approximately every 6 weeks, as research shows that is how they remain most effective in raising drivers' awareness.
