Scarisbrick Parish Council has two speed indicating devices (SpIDs) which are rotated around the eight locations listed below. The figures represent the latest data for each location. The SpIDs collect data from traffic approaching the unit from the front (incoming) and from behind (outgoing).
These figures were obtained with the SpID unit deployed which in itself is likely to affect drivers’ behaviour and reduce speeds. Speeds when the SpID is not deployed may be higher. The figures give an indication of the effect of the SpID during the time period stated and should NOT be considered as representative of any other time. The SpID unit has an “anti-race” facility and stops displaying speeds above a pre-selected level.
