Vehicular Activated Signs (VAS) and Speed Indicator Devices (SID) are signs with illuminated messages that flash when vehicles are travelling above a set trigger speed.
The scope of the Local Highways Panel funding is set out in the Terms of Reference. The funding is intended for two purposes:
Casualty Reduction schemes will be identified and prioritised by the Road Safety Team and potential engineering solutions will be developed. These will be presented to the LHPs for inclusion in their annual prioritised programme.
Other LHP schemes will be developed to address the issues that are raised by your local communities. Community schemes tend to fall into defined categories and this toolkit will guide you through the pros and cons and the complexities, cost and timescales of different engineering solutions.
Information about the types of schemes that may address the concern can be found within the LHP Members’ Guide
The Members' Guide is split into sections depending on your area of interest. Select the section for detailed information.
Road traffic casualties on the County’s roads are analysed annually. An explanation of the funding criteria can be found in the LHP Terms of Reference.
The schemes that are identified are presented to the Cabinet Member for approval.
Once approved these schemes will be included in the annual programme.
