Traffic speeds in Horningsea

The Vehicle Activated Sign (VAS) has been up in the village since March 2018. The Parish Council has conducted some analysis on data collected between 20/5/18 and 10/11/18 and can report the following findings:

  • Data and anecdotal evidence shows that the VAS slows vehicles down and improves adherence to the 30 mph speed limit, particularly during the daytime (07:00 – 19:00)
  • Vehicles travelling late at night or in the early hours are less likely to drive within the speed limit
  • Around 80% of vehicles travel at 30mph or less when the VAS is present
  • This reduces to 60% when it is outside Kings Cottages (north entrance to the village)
  • However, this means that 20-40% of vehicles are still speeding even with the VAS and even more when the VAS is not present.
  • Maximum speeds recorded between 20/5/18 and 10/11/18 were 75 mph, at both the north and south ends of the village (01:15 and 05:30)
  • Weekday average traffic volumes are 2,500 at the north end and 3,500 at the south end (presumably greater due to visitors to Scotsdales and the pubs being more likely to enter and leave via the south end).
  • Peak traffic volumes are 08:00-09:00 at the north end of the village and 17:00-18:00 at the south end
  • Approximately 300 vehicles on an average week day during these times
  • .
    The Parish Council will continue to monitor the VAS data and consider ways that could further reduce speeding through Horningsea.

    BRING AND SHARE a dish of home cooked food from ANY nation’s cuisine. It can be sweet or savoury.
    Please bring your own drinks and glasses. Plates and cutlery will be provided.

    Entrance is free when you bring a dish (Without a dish: £7 adults, £2 children)

    Horningsea Candlelit Carol Service

    Sunday December 9th, 18.00, St Peters church

    Once again we look forward to welcoming everyone to the candlelit Carol Service at St Peters church. A team from the village has already decorated the church, organised by Liz Harrison, so thank you everyone! We may need further help on the Saturday 8th to make last minute adjustments,putting lights in the churchyard and decorating with holly and Ivy. We will certainly need help with making teas and coffee, and producing mincepies. If you have not been before you must arrive early to make sure of finding a seat. We may need some help with lighting the candles as well. So many people say that the Horningsea Carol Service sets off the Christmas season in such a positive and traditional way. Don’t miss it!

    Mince pies needed for the Carol Service! Please bring some along!
