An electric sign reminding speeding drivers of the limit has been installed on Warminster Road.

The sign on the corner of Minster Way will flash if vehicles exceed the 30mph limit driving into Bath. Reduced speeds in this location will protect pedestrians, including children crossing to St Mary’s Primary.

“We’ve been working for a safety solution here for some time,” says Cllr David Martin. “Dozens of local residents supported a petition for a safer crossing here, and we are working up proposals with the council highways department. This interactive speeding sign can only help to improve matters.”

Plans for a safer pedestrian crossing are being re-designed following feedback from residents.
