New speed warning sign to help crack down on Marine Drive speeding

-

A flashing speed sign similar to this will be introduced along Marine DriveConcern about the speed of vehicles using Marine Drive in Burnham-On-Sea (pictured above) will lead to a new mobile speed warning sign being introduced.

Somerset County Council says it will provide the sign – similar to the one pictured here – for Burnham later in the summer.

And this week, councillors on the Town Improvements Committee discussed several locations for the sign – with Love Lane, The Esplanade, the A38 near the Bristol Bridge Inn, and Marine Drive being near the top of the shortlist.

But it was decided that the problems along Marine Drive make its need the greatest, and the sign will be sighted in the area around the entrance to the Holiday Village, facing towards traffic leaving the town. No date has yet been set for its introduction.
