Road Safety
There have been concerns raised about road safety since the removal of the white lines on the A32 Gosport Road. The Parish Council has a working party who have been liaising with Hampshire County Council to come up with improvements in road safety. This is an ongoing project and once we have a working document we will share with you, the residents. Please bear with us, unfortunately these things take time.
During the 2017/2018 Financial year Farringdon Parish Council purchased 2 traffic management devices, which can be located, temporarily, at various sites around the village. In early 2022, a new Speed Indicator device was purchased which displays the drivers speed and a happy/angry face as appropriate.
The devices measure the speed of approaching cars and signal a reminder to drivers that the speed limit in Farringdon is 30mph. Farringdon is one of the few villages along the A32 that has a 30mph speed limit.
The devices can collect data such as the Date, time, speed of vehicles.
