SAM
Did you spot SAM when driving through Needham? We hope so. The machine displays the speed of approaching vehicles and warns drivers to slow down if they are exceeding the speed limit. It also records the speed of all vehicles. This can then be analysed to identify if there are problem periods when there is persistent speeding.
The speed limit outside the Village Hall is 30mph and unfortunately ‘slow down’ lit up all too frequently. Happily the majority of drivers, although not all, did just that.
SAM is loaned from the Council and is in great demand with Parishes around South Norfolk. We hope to be able to borrow him again to provide a gentle reminder to observe the speed limit. Many thanks to the team that sat with SAM while he was on duty.
