The Town Council have 4 SIDs (Speed Indicator Devices)
located around Hungerford which are moved around seven different locations. The
Town and Manor have a further two sites on the Common near the Down Gate and
Kintbury Gate. The data collection is shared by the Council and Town
& Manor. All the locations have been approved by West Berkshire, the
highway authority. There is also a solar panel on one SID, which saves us
having to change the battery twice per week. The SIDs on the Common used to
operate only when cattle was grazing but this is now all the time to help
reduce speeding throughout the year. The nine locations are as follows:
- A4 Eastbound about 50m east
of Cottrell Close
- A4 Westbound across the
road from Dobbies Garden Centre
- A4 Westbound Charnham
