MVAS (Mobile Vehicle Activated Sign)

Mobile Vehicle Activated Signs (MVAS) are electronic signs which only become visible when approaching motor vehicles are exceeding a certain speed.

The signs normally display the speed limit, however they can also display the actual speed on the sign and these are called Speed Indicating Devices (SID).

One MVAS is located north bound before Brington CofE primary school and the other at the moment, south bound near the bus shelter.

Good News!

BMPC have been successful in asking Cambridgeshire County Council Highways to introduce 40MPH buffer zones to the North & South of Brington village. Also, to reduce the speed limit adjacent Hill Place to 30MPH from the previous 60MPH.

The Bad News! Despite the Highways Initiative

We still have vehicles travelling through Brington High Street near the school at over 50mph during the day!

• Remembering the speed limit is 30mph through the built-up area (Nursery School to Hill Place).
• 40% of all vehicles travelling past the High Street bus shelter (south bound) are speeding at over 31mph.
• Over 566 vehicles have been travelling up the High Street towards Hill Place at a speed over 35mph with 93 vehicles over 40mph!
• 33% of all vehicles travelling past the school MVAS (North Bound) are speeding at over 31mph!

PLEASE SLOW DOWN BEFORE SOMEONE IS HURT 

Hill Place 30mph South Bound

Monthly reports will be added for the Brington village MVAS and AutoSpeedWatch.
