Speed Limit Assessment Report
In light of ongoing concerns raised by residents, Wingfield Parish Councillors asked Wiltshire Council to undertake an independent speed limit assessment review. This review considered the speed limit and the speed of drivers on the B3109 running through Wingfield. The B3109 through Bradford Leigh and South Wraxall was also reviewed, with costs for the survey split between the parish councils involved.
The full report is available here:
B3109 Bradford-on-Avon Speed Limit Report Final
The survey considered the following factors which are central to making decisions on local speed limits:
- History of collisions;
- Road geometry and engineering;
- Road function;
- Composition of road users;
- Existing traffic speeds; and
- Road environment.
The survey concluded that the current 40mph speed limit on the B3109 through Wingfield was appropriate.
Councillors will continue to investigate measures to ensure that drivers adhere to the current speed limit and to improve road safety. We welcome input from residents on these matters.
